I pulled what I think is a Copper Indian Spear Head. My signal was a 12-43 range and the point was really deep 10+". It has similar features of other spear heads I have seen. it is about 6" long and about an inch wide at its widest point. Does anyone think I have an Indian spear head. LMK

Yes, it is a Native American spear point called a Rat Tail Point. I've found a knife blade, two socketed tang points and a neckles locket type object. They are among my favorite finds? I've also found over 20 pieces of float copper, which is copper in its natural state. Congrats on a great find. Here is a link to the Milwaukee Public Museum, which has one of the largest Native American collection of copper artifacts in the world.
