I have been to the mines on Isle Royale. It is a great place to backpack.

America BC. This has actually been known for a long long time. Every ancient copper ingot can be assayed and their origin determined by impurities, Much of the copper ingots in Europe came from the Great Lakes area. There are, in fact, many extensive ancient mines in the upper Peninsula and in Canada neqr the lake. It has been estimated that the tonnage taken out of those mines was many many- times the amount of copper used indigenously in the western hemisphere.
It has been known but not spoken of because many famous archaeologists' careers were made building the narrative that there was absolutely no cross Atlantic contact. Even the irrefutable viking sites were only grudgingly accepted after long years with the proviso that Viking occupation was necessarily temporary and had NO historical impact and was the only such contact possible or thinkable. Those who thought or think differently have found it harder to get digs financed.
