🥇 BANNER Copper Culture Sawtooth Spear Point.

[Centsless Detecting]

Found this 15 minutes ago in central Wisconsin. Still shaking in my boots. Is this the real deal? I did hit it with my shovel chasing a quarter signal.. How do I prevent it from flaking apart? For now it's in a zipper bag till I get home later today. I hope this is real. Always wanted to find a Copper spear.

Awesome, I nominate for banner (can't find the button, do they still do this?)

​

Yes, a "like" on the opening post of a thread is a banner vote, works the same on "today's finds", ship wreak, artifact forums, beaches and shallow water and any forums under the Treasure Hunting forums.

That is an awesome find. It is Native American. The copper in that area was plentiful & they were able to form tools & weapons without any smelting. Banner for sure.

Thank you all so much. I still can't believe it came up for me.

Jay Lox I believe was his name. If I remember correctly he found some nice artifacts similar to yours.

I'll have to say research is a rewarding part of this hobby. I found this map of the distribution of copper artifacts found in Wisconsin. I will say that this spearhead was found somewhere in the highlighted green area but that's all the clues you get.

PS. And no that isn't the snow forecast for tomorrow in May..🤣

Awesome find, congrats! Definite Banner find!

Interesting find. I hope someone on here can identify it

 

[releventchair]

I didn't save a picture copy of similar from Northern lower Mi. (?) encountered on an internet search days ago. Others have shown the sawtooth base example(s).
Certainly plenty of copper in the area and during it's hayday era of copper usage culture.

Congrats on recovering one heck of a relic!
I don't recall seeing such a design amid copper culture artifacts before.

(l.o.l. at myself.)

that is a find of a lifetime for anyone. Yes it is most certainly a banner find for this or any forum.

 

[Trezurehunter]

It sure looks right to me. Congrats on an excellent find.

The 2 threads were merged since it made banner, can't banner both since they are the same.
