copper spearpoint

Hey everyone, my brother found this copper spearpoint the other day in a field with his XLT. It measures 4 1/4" long and approx. 7/8" wide. We have looked in several artifact books and we found that it dates to 3000 to 1200 B.C. Any information on how much something like this might be worth or just any more information is greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
Just one word AWESOME Point.

Sorry can't help on worth.

Do a search on copper culture artifacts, should get into some info.
 
If it is pre-historic, it would be hammered and folded. Copper didn't make very good projectiles as it was too soft. Didn't stop pre-historic Indian's from using it, but the flint projectile would have been much sharper. Your find looks more like a Roman socketed point than native American, but there are numerous collectors in the north central States (WI/MI) where the main cultures are found. Check with some of the guys in the Central States Arch., Soc. and maybe they can shed definitive light on your find. Good hunting, David@Dixie
 
sweet find nate, that is one of my goals this summer, some of the copper culture site date back to 7000 yrs
 
nate would you please post this in the native artifacts on treasure net, a couple of the guys are pretty much experts on the copper
 
There is a lot of info on various sites. These points have been found across North America but most of the tools have been found on the southern shores of the Great Lakes near the sources of native copper. Should be lots of reading.

Great find.
