Cibola finds RARE Copper Spear Point!

[polestar]

I've had my new Cibola for a couple weeks now and I really like it. It is so simple to operate. Well today while at my Mother-in-law's house for Easter I searched around her yard for about an hour. The house probably dates to at least the 40's and maybe earlier. Well I hit a signal that I could not discriminate out by crankin' up the dial so I dug it up. At about 4" I pulled out this beautiful Copper Culture prehistoric arrowhead/spearpoint! I just did some quick research and found a match from an article in Western/Eastern Treasures. Here is the link: C:\Documents and Settings\default\Desktop\TREASURE!\copper_arrowhead.htm Hope you enjoy the photo! Happy Hunting!

Thanks Wirechief. I found it at Hibbing, Minnesota (northern MN.). Before I realized what I had I picked off some crusty scale inside where the arrow would be. Then I read the article which I referred to in my initial post and saw the words value, patina, OOPS! Well, I stopped pickin' at it before I got too far and destroyed it. Its still in near mint condition I think. I actually know better, I never clean coins or anything but this crust was brown and looked like packed dirt. I can't wait to go back up there to see if there is anything else or was that just a one-time lucky break. H.H.
