Is this "float" or "drift" or "native" copper or man made melted copper. Can any one tell from the patina? I found them at two mid 1800s home sites. I heard it takes something like 2,000 degrees to melt copper. I wouldn't think your average settler would be melting copper like that or have the equipment to do so. Im in the mid-west. Any thoughts
