A Find Lost 4000 Years Ago?

[ScubaDetector]

This is yesterdays finds. I got in at 11:30 last night and heard my bed calling me. If a problem mods, please feel free to move it.

Went to a beach that has a ton of history yesterday with my son-in-law. This is a very popular boaters beach now called Poor Man's. The reason it is called that is it is right outside three marina's. Boaters get in their boats at the marina, idle out to the beach, drink and swim and then go back into the marina. They don't even have to get up on plane or use a gallon of gas.

We have found fake Rolex watches, fake Breitling watches and fake Tiffany and Co. jewelry there in the past. Anyway, this is also the beach I have found WW1 practice Mark 1 bombs from 1917 and the Lewis machine gun magazines from the same time period.

But way way before that the copper culture people were there. As evidence by the fish hooks we sometimes find. This is my third one. I also found an arrow head out there last year. I was fanning for a coin and spotted it in the hole.

If you are interested in reading about the copper culture people, here is a short web page.

Anyway, that was the only real exciting find. I got a small sterling ear ring, a SS ring, and a strange metal container I thought was a lighter but was empty except for a cigarette butt. A few new coins, my normal supply of 30 and 45 cal bullets, some 30 cal shells, and a 50 cal shell from 1921.















This is one I found before with the arrow head.





This photo is of the two I have in my possession and the arrowhead. I gave one of the fish hooks away.

Neat finds and thanks for the history lesson. I love them old fishing hooks. Nice finds in general but really love that older stuff.

Once again you have left me scratching my head. Copper culture fish hooks? That is absolutely killer.

Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Great finds, love the fish hooks, very unique..

Thanks for the replies all. I didn't know the fish hooks would excite anyone else. Actually I gave Kevin the very first fish hook I found not knowing it was that old. Now he has two and I have two. He also has an arrow head but he found it while scooping in the lake. It came up with a target and he spied it in the scoop. They are out there if you look hard enough.

What is really bad that I haven't talked about is my friend Kevin found something I have tossed away before. I always thought they were just broken junk. He did some research and found they were copper culture conical points. I know I junked two of them at least before he researched the one he found.

He knows a lot more about the older things like that.

Great finds, to be so lucky! The metal container you found, you might want to check that "butt" again. Back in my day, and this is only second hand knowledge, the containers were used to hold left hand Luckys. Again, second hand knowledge.

First hand I can tell you that was exactly what I was thinking. (just for the record, its been better than 25 years I did that)

Very cool finds my fellow lake mermaid, I wish I could dive with you! You have a great area to do it. (I'm thinking)
I love the point and the hooks are way cool! Banner finds IMO, it don't take much for me but those are banner worthy. (I didn't vote that, just feel it is)
