Hickey was a prospector and Union Civil War veteran. He named his claim the Anaconda Mine after reading Horace Greeley's Civil War account of how Ulysses S. Grant's forces had surrounded Robert E. Lee's forces "like an anaconda". This copper arrowhead features the mine name "Anaconda" across the front and the casting marks were left unpolished on the back. This piece measures 4 1/2" x 2 3/8".
