Need ID Help. Copper arrow point?

[Mr. Digger]

Doing some organizing of past finds and I recall when I dug it wondering if this might be an arrow point fashioned out of copper by native Americans. It looks very old to me and doesn't look like it broke off something else, but who knows. Any experts able to ID this for me?

Does it appear solid or was it possibly a scabbard tip that was crushed?
Nice find

Solid for sure. Thin and pointy.

Looks like it's cut from a pot, you might have to ask in another area of the sight. Still old, a couple hundred.... IMO but it's not worth even two cents.....

Could be an American Indian Copper Trade Point like this pic.

Found one just like it last year. Still not sure what it is.

Cool anyway.

If it appears to have tapered (beveled) edges on the point sides, then it very well may be a trade point. I found one a few years ago, still my oldest relic! Sub

Could be. Try posting in the Native American Artifacts section. Someone should be able to help

This is what a real Native American Copper Point looks like. Found it two years ago...

The text in your photo refers to the item as a "knife or dagger".
what does it weigh? (is it too heavy for a point ?)

Can not remember the weight but it's most likely a spear point. That article was written before people from the museum and others in the know told me more about it. It 4 1/2" long if that helps....
