Very interesting piece. What will you do with it?

Got out today and dug up 86 coins 1-dollar,11q,12d,4n,58 pennies, 1 ring, and a silver necklace. Ended the month with 1D,84Q,113D,23N, 515--Pennies (man I hate those things), the tungsten and a couple other rings, and a couple of necklaces too. $39.50 for the slush fund.

Well since it was not very appealing in appearance i sold it to a dealer. I was able to get out again today and do some detecting. Found a nice large piece with silver again. I had to use a ratchet strap to lift it out of the hole...

I had to carry/roll it most of the way out of the bush.. The ratchet strap broke from me dragging/lifting it through the bush..

I rubbed it up a little bit. Here you can see some of the silver in it.

Almost need a pack mule to pull that up. Havent detected any items that big yet, but once bottle digging, unearthed a fire hydrant. Have to say your finds are very impressive. Keep up the great work!.

Got your pm dig..good to go. How'd you do with the sale? hopefully well. I still should get rid of alot of bottles. bunch of acls sitting in the basement in tubs. I ran a Goodwill run yesterday and dropped off about 6 bags of stuff. Was nice to clean that out and make room for more "stuff" in the basement. Still waiting for a good time to get to the dig spot. The leaves are falling and trees are fully turning. Here's a pic of huge oak tree from the now empty house next door. (we always end up with all of their leaves in our yard...makes raking so much fun). Going to hit the backyard a bit today and the tunnel/farm area where daughter practices soccer tomorrow afternoon....

cryptic..that looks like a huge hunk of copper..or is there silver with it? can't tell from the pic. even so, huge hunk of either...

My bad..for some reason none of the other posts loaded when I was posting...that is a sweet "rock". Nice f75 or f70 too! Can't use one around here...too much mineralization/iron in the ground here. My F2 goes nuts if I have it over 2 bars of sensitivity...

Ironmountain-- I have been very happy with the F75. I love it. The rock pictured, from what I can tell, is about 75% silver. It also has Cobalt (cobalt bloom) in it and some calcite. It probably has some other arsenides in it as well but I am not a geologist just an amateur silver hunter.
