Digging a road tearout in Minnesota today, this was my very first good signal. I had no idea at first that I had just uncovered a bit of very ancient American history, dating almost certainly to at least 1000 years before Christ!

I had a friend with me that knew exactly what I had found. It is a Copper Culture spear point. A beautiful one, and in pristine condition! How it got under that asphalt, we'll never know. It really wasn't all that deep... maybe 4".

I found it only a few hours ago, and am still trying to wrap my mind around what I have. I am boggled.
