Copper??

Hello All,

Wanted to get some opinions on these items.

Found these near a cellar pit in Northwestern Pennsylvania. The one is shaped on the bottom like an arrowhead but the tip is bent? The other has these half circular shaped molds almost. The second picture shows them and there is burnt wood in the indentation. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Tnet. Did the house burn? The pieces look kinda like slag?

Thanks Tony. I don't know how the house met it's demise. I thought slag at first too but the arrow looking one is nearly symmetrical on the bottom.

Some Injuns did use cold forged arrow & spear heads. Are those authentic? Beats me.

The verdigris on them says "brass" to me. Both look like they were melted in a fire. Nothing remarkable about either one IMO.

Copper-alloy slag or metal working blobs...either or
