[Free Trapper]

Too(little)in the New World.I agree.The Indians used their copper mostly as ceremonial decoration and status symbols,not the type things to be easily tossed away.Also,haven't a few pieces made of bronze been found in some of the mounds?I don't believe the Human Race is given enough credit for earlier accomplishments.Who in their right mind would spread word of treasure to their competition?I know I'd keep quiet about a new land rich for plucking and trade.

Famous quote from Oscar Wilde about Columbus: "Of course America had often been discovered before, but it had always been hushed up."
