all In a 10 foot radius,, the axe head and spear head were found a few months ago.

Are these finds for sure bronze or could they just be only copper? It may be better for you to find a knowledgeable person in your area to physically look at your finds. That way you can tell us what they say about your very unique artifacts. I will say, some items sure look like bronze or copper that is very old. That point is odd and looks like stone to me in your picture.

Looks like bits ready for melting, so SS is probably on to something with the foundry theory.
