Apparently they used the copper to make cannons with?

I was thinking....... Can they test the chemical composition of the copper ingots to determine where they were mined at? That might be interesting, unless the smelting removed the impurities that would determine where it was found. I have backpacked on Isle Royale in Lake Superior and there was found a large chunk of copper in the ground that prehistoric Native Americans had "mined" by chipping parts of it off over the centuries.

"I was thinking....... Can they test the chemical composition of the copper ingots to determine where they were mined at?" I believe this is possible. I would love for it to be from the Great Lakes region, lol.
