First find is the find of a Lifetime! Archaic Copper Complex Spearhead

[Backbacon]

This is my first find with my new Detector in Aug of this year. I found this on a very old grown over Riverbed on a remote lake in Ontario Canada. The Curator of the local Museum say's that it's an Archaic Copper Culture Spearhead dated around 3000BC. I still can't believe this is the first thing I've ever found and in the first ten minutes of detecting.

Incredible first find! Congratulations ! You do know that your pull tab to copper culture spear ratio will be like 100,000 to 1? That is an awesome find though really. Way to go.

Also, you might want to post this in the Copper Culture Artifact section in the Pre-Colonial Artifact forum located toward the bottom of the forum listings.

Just asking but a 3000bc spear head a once in a lifetime find maybe and y'all are saying send photos to magazines and such but can that be considered a Banner find.

And not to even mention the fact that it's in pristine condition. Better go back to that place and keep looking. A couple more finds like that and you can open your own museum. Well done...

I think its an amazing find but 'pristine condition' Its had lots of ground action, piting & patina loss. This is not taking anything away from a unbeatable first find, but lets get real about its true condition.
Just put 'bronze age axe' into google images & see some good examples.
