It was commonly found as a blue powdery substance that when wet became a sticky mess and cloged machinery. It is probably a piece of bed slag from the tracks or like Josh said, hematite. It may actually have a little silver in it but it wouldn't be worth much at $11 an ounce troy. < Message edited by capsoda -- 6/15/2007 10:12:27 AM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 28

These three coins I dug in privvy's in the same town.  I am pretty sure they are silver........Out of almost 200 privy's only three coins....that's why my hopes were up on the silver nugget.  One San Francisco mint, a Denver and I think the big one is Philadelphia but am unsure.  enjoy.....privvydigger   Attachment (1) _____________________________ gtr'dug (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 29

RE: Silver nugget in a Privy - 6/15/2007 4:52:14 PM    capsoda Posts: 7923 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: online Now those are silver and in fair shape. Over the years I have dug several pounds of coins and other silver items. Did dig a gold broach on time and it seems like some of the colonial settlers here (Spanish, French, British) wore alot of brass. I have doug alot of brass rings, necklaces, broaches and even a pretty large dangly earing. My favorite dug brass jewelry was a peacock with little pearls dangling from it. I had to replace all the pearls. The wife wears it. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to privvydigger) Post #: 30
