While Metal Detecting Along A River In Wisconsin, A Man Found A 3,000-Year-Old Spearhead Made In The Great Lakes Region

Banaszak plans to get a special display case for the ancient arrowhead. Someday, he will pass it on to his son, who he used to go metal detecting with when he was growing up.

“It’s something I’m pretty passionate about,” Banaszak remarked. “I’ve told a few of my friends about the Copper Culture, and they’ve looked it up, and they were pretty fascinated by it. I’d like to see other people get out and enjoy what I like to do.”

Back in May, another significant discovery was made by archaeologists in Wisconsin. They unearthed 10 dugout canoes from Lake Mendota that date back about 4,500 years. Overall, the findings indicate that the region was once an important site for ancient peoples.
