Turn around from the dock and head straight to the top of the hill. Go past the giant Oak tree and then a giant blouder on your left.

Once you arrive at the marked location, search the ground for a freshly dug grave. Interact with the spot to dig it up, then examine the bag inside. Loot it to obtain the Broken Axe.
