Amazing Copper Culture Indian Artifacts

[Bucknut]

I visited my cottage in the UP of Michigan and found some awesome artifacts.

Copper culture finds....

The left 2 are knives and the others are spear points. The musket ball is for size reference.



A few copper pcs and a small quartz point.





Fur trade era finds and War of 1812 era finds....









Check this out! I thought I found a bent up trade ring but I knew that I had seen that shape before. So I did a quick search and found out that this is a Luckenbooth Broach. This has a design in the metal. These can go back to the 1500's but I bet this was probably from the very early 1700's. A musketball is there for size reference.




Feels good to make a post again!

This is a mic drop post! That site has been a gold mine for you! It seems you find spectacular relics every time you go back. So much incredible history! The trade silver is especially eye-catching.

Simply amazing!

p.s. That War of 1812 that I won in one of your contests still holds a proud place in my collection, Jared! It's a beauty!

That's an amazing haul! Copper culture finds are on my bucket list. Those knives and spear points look fantastic.

Any plans to go back and search that area again?
