Flint Knapping with a Raw Copper Nugget

Ryan Gill of HuntPrimitive.com demonstrates Flint Knapping a piece of flint/chert to make an arrowhead, using only a raw copper nugget straight from the ground in Michigan. While many modern knappers use modern copper tools, this is an interesting look at how some of the first people that knapped with copper may have approached using this new tool.
