Interesting find. Congrats to him on his find.

Was this found metal detecting or a surface find along a water route?

 

[Buckleberry]

If that's NA, I'd vote it for a Banner!

That's a really nice example, and huge for the type!

Beautiful copper knife!

I recovered this while excavating an old dump site on my property along with auto plates dating back to 1921.

You or your buddy can find some interest copper artifacts columns in the CSASI journals. Not every journal so check the table of contents.

A column in many is "Red Metal Pounding"

here are some examples:
NATIVE COPPER CHARACTERISTICS DEMONSTRATED IN THE "NEUBAUER PROCESS"
Tiny Old Copper Culture Conicals by E.J. Neiburger
Differentiating Archaic, Woodland and Mississippian Copper Artifacts by E.J. Neiburger

Nice finds Rocsteddie, and the pictures show that those are in real good condition.

My property line dump site. No ideal how it got there. Very lucky to realize what it was and thanks to fellow treasurenet members was able to determine its real significance.

Thanks for the update

Looks like a tool that fits on a stick like a shovel blade is. If it is way old then perhaps a spear tip?

I found the blade while digging up an old property line dump on my property in Gilbert, MN. Many old bottles and car license plates dating from 1921 to 1938 were also among the trash.
