Around these parts, we'd say it was a French pitchfork. :D
Sorry Lenn! I just couldn't resist.

I've never seen one of those. Glad you found out.

Thanks Jay, here`s a pic of the broke one it has been repaired before a piece was brazed in.
These were hand forged.

Man , I wish My Dad was still alive....He dug ditches for six years before He got drafted in WW2. He may have used one of those...He said "Boot camp was a country club." the Army was Good to Him.

Our soil here is known as black gumbo. When wet, it is like a thick gumbo. It gets much like Play Doh when it is just damp. It grows cotton well.
