Awesome silver and a 3000 year old copper!!!!!

[Slipperyjack47]

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.

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

Hello ? ? ? ? ? Is this thing on?

Sorry I did'nt answer back quickly pronghorn, I am pretty new to this area here in Northern Wisconsin but from what I gather there were a culture of indians that inhabited the upper parts of Michigan and Wisconsin that mined copper that was found close to the surface called float copper. They would pound this copper flat and then make the shapes needed to form the tools they wanted such as arrowheads,knives, and many other things. I know the Archies tell us that this culture was 3000 to 4000 years ago. If you type in "Copper culture" into google you'll get alot more and better info than I can give. Hope this helps and thanks for looking
