1835 Dime & Copper arrowheads

[GaRebel1861]

I went back this morning to the site where I've been digging a few eagle buttons and a few coins. At first the ground was only giving up shotgun shells. I later moved to another portion of the field and dug this dime. Within twenty feet of it, I recovered both of the copper arrowheads. It's likely this site was occupied during more than one time period. I believe these type points were in use well before 1835. This coin is reaching back pretty far into this areas history. The county in which it was found was established in 1825.

Are those Native American or a more recent arrowhead? I know the Copper culture in the North had some

Great looking dime. You didn't ding the rim did you? I would have cried

These type points that we are finding down here were made from copper kettles that were trade items. The natives would cut up the kettles and roll them themselves so each is made a little different. As far as I know, mine date from the late 1700s to the very early 1800s. They are actually rare and hard to find. I only have about a dozen or so.

Nope, it wasn’t me. Thank the lord! Could have been a light kiss from a plow? Could have been done while in circulation? I’ll never know. It doesn’t look too fresh to me.
