Um, Uh...... What is this?

I found this in the woods. It looks like the tip is broken off. The other side has the same design. I think it's made of copper. it came up as coin on my detector. I appreciate any replies. Thanks for your time.

just my guess that was my first impression. Although it does look like a mysterious sect's amulet that worshipped cartoon characters sacrificing dragon flies. If you think about it, it does have barbs to retain the speared catch, and a place to wrap attaching sinews, too bad they hit a rock with it and broke the tip and the stick it was attached to. And it could also be many, many miles from its original manufacturing area.........Not - -G - E!

Than you were joking about using them all the time.
My first impression was an arrowhead from the ancient Great Lakes area copper culture. But now that I think about it, it is not corroded enough or sharp to be an ancient aeeowhead, even though it looks like one.

I agree with the hippie pendant theory.

Thanks for all your replies. I actually thought it might be some kind of hippie thing to. We had a lot of "suburban hippies" around here LOL.

How can that be a "WEED" symbol? Canabis has 5 leaves which almost looks like a maple leaf.

How do you know

It does have 5 leaves but I agree its a bit abstract. It was done by an art loving hippie

I have a zippo that has that magical leaf on it, and my brother told me what it was, long time ago.

I googled Maryjuana (to see what it looked like). The bottom two leaves should be smaller, not larger. Its stretching it a bit, but I guess possible considering the source.

You cant smash the bug because its under the glass.

Doesn't look like a broken loop to me. Looks like it was part of something larger.
