David Beard, 47, of Sandbed Lane, found the part of the Bronze Age sword when he was out with his metal detector at a farm in the Chevin area of Belper.
He took it to Derby Museum which dated it to between 1150bc and 1400bc.
He said: "You usually find something within the first few minutes replica clothing but it could be a rusty nail or horse shoe.
It depends, sometimes you can go a whole day and find a Victorian penny. The detector tells you how deep it is, this was about a foot deep."
Mr Beard, who has had his metal detector for a year, added: "This is an important find for Belper and is of historical value.
"I would like to thank the farmer for letting me use the land."
It is now up to Mr Beard what he does with the copper fragment, which is not thought to have
embroidered patches any financial value.
He is deciding whether to give it to the museum or to the farmer whose land it was found on.
