      Bring a live translation device, and program it with whatever the expected language is. That alone would be magic to them. And you don;t need to go to a copper mine, there were markets for processed copper. Pulling it into wire is just a case of roughly forming it into a cylinder, then pulling that cylinder through successively smaller holes. A local smith could help you with that.

        And then hope they don’t kill you for being a witch.

        What do you think copper ore looks like? What tools would you use?

        Ancient mining was a punishment, generally a death sentence. It’s hard work often overseen by a slave master.

        Copper ore isn’t concentrated copper either a lot of ore goes into a little copper. There’s a reason only the really wealthy had copper items.
