Copper Spear
Copper Spear point I found in a field on the outskirts of town. Date ranges from 3000-1200B.C. Exact ID would help if anyone knows. Thanks. HH lko

Re: Copper Spear
Very nice point! You ever find any copper quarries up there?

Re: Copper Spear
This is the only copper I have found but I know there is a spot I can hit where there is a ton more waiting to be found.

These are fabulous treasures and for some odd reason almost totally overlooked by most THers.
To the end they'll be bragging up wheat cents and modern silver coins to the neglect of America's real treasures.
Oh well, that just leaves more for you guys

Re: Copper Spear
If you ever find an actual quarry site/pit take a close look around it, I've heard of stories where dozens of broken mauls have been found around a single mine pit. I have one broken copper mine maul and the thing is huge!
