    Best find ever, or not - Need opinions

    I pulled what I think is a Copper Indian Spear Head. My signal was a 12-43 range and the point was really deep 10+". It has similar features of other spear heads I have seen. it is about 6" long and about an inch wide at its widest point. Does anyone think I have an Indian spear head. LMK

    A "tanged" spear point and a very nice sized one at that too. its probably an archaic era maybe 1500 to 1000 b.c. in age (but don't quote me on it ) heres a good website for some Wisconsin Digger maybe you could foward pictures to them for a better age date .

    Thx for the link. I'll start investigating. When I first pulled it out I thought I had an old fork or spoon that broke but it is way to heavy and does not look broke. Thx again WD
