Those are awesome. I've seen a copper head band before, and what I was told were a few copper beads, but never a copper point. That's impressive. The skill and heat it takes to work copper from it's natural state makes that especially impressive.Wandering wherever I can, mostly in Eastern Arkansas, always looking down.

So they didn't have to forge/smelt this stuff? I know there are a few natural surface deposits in north central Arkansas but I didn't know it could be found in pieces large.enough to work. That's really cool.
i know the one I saw had been chemically tested and they said it was definitely not modern because it was so pure. Maybe it came from up there where you are!! The guy told me that with the chemical test, if they dug deep enough, they could probably tell where exactly it came from because of trace elements in the metal.Wandering wherever I can, mostly in Eastern Arkansas, always looking down.
