Oldest Known European Metal Tool ? The Start of it all

[Silver Shield]

I never get title right its been awhile and I am old .. LOL also a couple pictures of a more solid nature , naturally occurring , Copper can be found in very large masses and does not always have such a spidery shape or such obvious attachments of inclusions as shown in a previous post . One nugget in these pictures weighs 44g. Easy to work with it actually.
