[Aztlan] 1000-3000 BCE COPPER CELT FOUND IN MICHIGAN

[Robert Hall]

Listeros,
       Note that the newspaper article cited does not really say that the movement of such copper items was from Mexico to eastern North America, as the posting says. The upper Michigan peninsula has thousands, some say ten thousand or more, aboriginal extraction pits for native [natural pure] copper in its ore form, and nuggets of "drift" or glacially transported copper occur as far south as northern Illinois, one weighing hundred of kilos.

Listeros,

A man in Michigan has found a 3000-5000 year old copper celt from the 
time of the Old Copper Complex in Ancient America. It was probably 
acquired by way of trade in ancient times. Copper celts were traded 
from Mexico to the Rockies to the East Coast in the Old Copper 
Complex which is one of the oldest copper industries in the world.
