So were they like "hey we need a lot of copper to make stuff, lets get in our boats and sail to a far off land and hope we find some."?

First, most things are discovered by accident.
Second, since the Minoans are often associated with Atlantis (and rightly so), I assume that they instead jumped in thier solar powered rocket ships and flew to Michigan.
Either that, or it was the ANCIENT ALIENS!
The lack of any real evidence just proves that there is a conspiracy to cover it up.
Well yeah it must have been an accident, but the upper peninsula is very far away from the island of Crete. Not only that, but it is pretty far inland from the coast of North America. If they truly did mine copper from that island during ancient times, something like ancient aliens had to be involved.

And how did they navigate around Niarga Falls....

Dear pbarbetta:
Now, not many people know this little factoid, but, in their past lives Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotton were sailors --------and damned good ones!
I hate referencing Wikipedia, but since we're dealing with a fringe crackpot showman like this guy on "American Unearthed" I think it's fair to link a page that discusses most of the background regarding Michigan copper mines and its history. What I found amazing is that the host discounts or doesn't even mention most of what's covered in this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_mining_in_Michigan
As with all wiki articles it's best to read the talking points and follow thru with reading the links/source material that backs up those talking points (something "America Unearthed" doesn't provide its viewers).

I read that Wikipedia article and it proves Mr. Tea Bagger wrong. No Minoan artifacts or settlement near the prehistoric copper mines in Michigan. Just Native American settlements and artifacts.
Say NO to crappy vampire love stories such as the Twilight movies!
The Minoans were also Freemasons---they just knew. 🔺
