Nugget Shooter 4,621 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Picture is too small to see much, is it magnetic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
filldtank 0 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Picture is too small to see much, is it magnetic?Sorry about pics its the only camera I own,no its not magnetic and it almost feels light for its size,theres some black in it almost like magnetite,with the camera quality and my knowledge I should hammer on it and pan it out and see what happens?

filldtank 0 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Here is another piece found about 20 yds. away,again poor camera work,its lite compared to other rock about 4.1 grams and almost looks like it has specks of aluminun or silver in it,if I was out west almost looks like mica.

filldtank 0 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thats a tough one .....Almost resembles a slag? Any large mines in the area?Hi Adam No big mines but plenty of quarries,boulders and bedrock(shale)and not much mineralization,a few natural caves for the bats. The one piece almost looks like volcanic but hard to tell,thanks for your help-Regards Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
