That's a beauty! Minnesota is in the west end of the dispersal region of Lake Superior area mined copper that was hammered into artifacts. Likely age... Approximately 1000- 4000 B.C. .
Do a search for "copper culture artifacts" or "old copper culture" to learn more.
There are fur trade era copper artifacts also but they're only sheet metal thick.
Awesome find!

I was curious what do you guys think it's possibly worth cash wise not that I would sell it. To me it is worth more than any amount of money and should be treasured and in a museum so others can see and enjoy it as well imo....

grats at least yours made it to the banner. i posted this one a couple of weeks ago and got nothing. i just had it looked at saturday,at the mississippi valley archaeology center, mvac show, several exhibitors and the main staff members i.d. it as a socketed tang spear point from the middle archaic period and 5-7 thousand years old.

Wow. Congratulations, that is amazing!

Good job that looks great either the maker found a great stone or they were a great spear tip maker or both NICE

I hope you have scoured the recovery area well, sometimes a cache of several blades is recovered from a small area. At any rate I would be hitting all detectable ground within a half mile of that find.

Glad to see this up on the Banner where it belongs! Do you have a nice display box for showcase it in?

 

[oxbowbarefoot]

Thank you all for your comments and the banner nomination much appreciated. I found this beauty when me and a friend where hiking on his land last fall. I spotted it sticking out of the dirt tangled in the roots of a tree that had recently fell over. The color of it is what caught my eye and at first glance I thought it was a piece of glass until I pulled it out and looked at it closer. I found it in Wabasha County, MN in the Zumbro River Valley 7 miles from Mississppi River. Thanks again God bless and praise Jesus Christ the King of Kings!!]

Again, awesome find. Please consider adding it to this thread in the Native American Artifacts section:

Take it to Effigy Mounds National Monument at McGregor, Iowa, and ask the director about it. It looks like authentic copper culture.

Checking in from Wisconsin; Great find! Early copper Culture.
Keep hunting! Where there is one piece you will probably find more.
