i remember reading about skeletons encased in copper armor found in burial mounds in ohio and a few other places in the eastern US in the 19th century......nothing specific about the armor was ever said.....not sure what became of that stuff..........its also worth mentioning that the skeletons where described as "giant" 7-8 ft tall.......it appears that a great many of these "giant" skeletons with and without armor were dug up over the course of the 19th century in the eastern and central US..........yet there dosent appear to be any examples of this armor or of the skeletons themselves in the museums (field, smithsonian, ect)
