Morlock Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I wonder if he was detecting in the Colbalt mining district in Canada? A few years ago, detectorists were finding tons of native silver in the old mine dumps. I don't think it was crystalized or anything. Just massive native silver. Probably still a lot of detecting still going on using the lastest technology like the GPZ 7000. I remember seeing an old picture of a silver sidewalk. It must have been at least three feet wide, one foot thick and can't remember how long it was. Edited January 22, 2018 by Morlock 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au Seeker Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Homie in one of his replies to comments, he mentioned Pete Lake, which appears to be east of Seattle Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisski Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I do think a lot of us have overlooked silver when out prospecting. We're not tossing silver nuggets back to grow bigger, but the black and green silver ores go overlooked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homefire Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Been detecting sense about age 11 and only found a couple little peaces of native silver. That was down south of Tombstone . You can find bits of Silver Ore in a lot of the old mines here but nothing like this guy was on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Lots of silver around Pioche, NV which has a real interesting history. According to some, "this town made Deadwood and Tombstone look like kindergarten" http://travelingringo.com/2011/12/baddest-town-in-the-old-west-pioche-nevada/ https://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nv/pioche.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
