Nice point

coinguy1972 · Aug 9, 2011

I had been detecting near a old resort finding tons of coins and a couple of rings, after a few hours I decided it was time to come home. While walking towards my truck I noticed I had left my head lights on and they were dim. I got in turned the key AND nothing! So I called my wife and asked her to come and give me a jump. While I was waiting I decided to hunt this one little area that I had been wanting to hunt, after a few minutes I got a very deep copper signal and out came this awsome point. It measures 5 1/4 inches long and 1 3/4 inches wide

I'm really fascinated by this, and I've seen very little of copper culture articles. Is this authentic? What makes me wonder is, being a resort area, could it be an antique souvenir?

I'm sure that one of the local experts can elaborate on this find.

Anyway, congratulations! I'd be flipping out to find that!

Where was this found? It's a very nice specimen but it almost looks like someone had tried to clean it and then it got discarded again. Interesting.

I think the scraping you see may have come from my digger, it was found in Northern Wi.
