That is a very hard question to answer. Man has been using metal for a very long time. Gold, silver. and copper are thought to be the some of the first metals mankind learned to use. Blacksmiths work mainly with iron or steel. Very little iron occurs in its natural state. Iron nickle meteorites were probably used by very early people to form tools. As you can imagine there would be very little metal to work with. Current thinking is that potters using iron rich dyes found puddles of metal after the kilns cooled off. These people would of probably use this metal for decoration and art. They would of been the very first blacksmiths. That could of been as long ago as 6ooo BC or even earlier then that. Every time scientists think that they have a firm grip on the dates new evidence is found pushing the dates even further back.
