Copper Culture work in progress?

[watercolor]

This past weekend I found this while metal detecting in southern Wisconsin
and was wondering if this could be a Copper Culture "preform" or possibly
a finished piece.





Thanks everyone for any of your thoughts,

I know nothing of the copper culture but I would say that is a finished piece. That is a great find...d2

Definitely a complete and finished piece. That is a killer Copper Culture Celt and a very rare find, especially one in such excellent condition.

How old is something like that? I have no knowledge at all about copper stuff.

2000 to 7000 yrs old, 3 sites have been dated to 7000
