Made a short hunt the other night and got a few coins so I decided to head back to that area this morning and it was worth it! I had gotten a rosie (64) and a real cool 1920 canadian silver half dime "never new they made them" so I had high hopes this morning and was'nt disappointed. I started with a sweet silver ring, I think it was a kids as its awful small then another rosie a 1946. It was'nt long and indians were appearing, a 1901 IHP and a 1920 buff nickle. I kept working the area back and forth listening for those faint signals like old Silverfreak is so famous for when I popped a nice 1925 SLQ "man those are fun" and the third so far this year! but the best was yet to come..... as I was making my way back to heading home I get a pretty strong copper signal and figured one more can't hurt so the dirt starts flying. After a fairly deep dig I run my Garrett propointer into the hole and get an instant reaction, I fish in the loose sand and come back with a super 3 inch copper conical arrowhead point!!!!!! Wow I have been waiting for this ever since I moved to Wisconsin and man it was sure exciting holding something you know was at least 3000 years ago since it has seen the light of day. Well I hope you all enjoy the pics and my other post of this last months finds.

The arrowhead is amazing. I didn't know they used those here in the U.S. Of course there's lots I don't know but that's beside the point.

I'm not that up on copper artifacts, how do you know it is at least 3000 years old, if you don't mind?

a real cool 1920 canadian silver half dime "never new they made them"

And now you know.......lol

They're referred to a lot as "Fish Scales" because of their size. WTG, I'm still looking for one here!

Also good job on the copper and awesome haul on coins!

Awesome digs my friend! I found the exact little canadian coin in the yard I took you to last year. As for your copper point... :thumbsup:. Unfortunately for you, the quartz arrowhead I found today was 3001 years old...LOL. Seriously though, that is a banner find, along with your buckle, oh yeah lets not forget the coffee can full of coins you have ripped out of your park. Keep up the good work.
