LipCa Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I keep finding fragments of "iron" on the hillsides in an area near me. They look like shattered bits of iron. Mostly 3/4 of an inch or smaller. They are magnetic. No machined surfaces. I see no reason why they should be there. Have found them in about a half mile area. I've been "chucking" them. Maybe I shouldn't???

mn90403 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Without a picture we are left to scratch our heads about 'to chuck' or 'not to chuck!' Can you get a picture with a dime next to the irritating iron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LipCa Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Next time I go there I'll keep one. It looks like a hunk of iron just exploded.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 your general location and some local history may help too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LipCa Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) A mile NW of Yreka, CA. A couple small mines/test holes in the general area. Edited March 2, 2014 by LipCa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) mines and prospect holes could indicate blasting... trash of all types is everywhere; often with no apparent reason for it being where it is. The only way you will know for certain is to have a lab test it...I, personally would not waste the time or money from what you have said so far.fred Edited March 3, 2014 by fredmason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
