[QUOTE="TTKooAu, post: 49467, member: 1600"] Further to above pictures of the bolt, turns out it [u]is[/u] copper (who knew!.. try the magnet!!) Also the 'black inclusion (bottom right of the bolt) is actually charcoal. The wood grain is quite visible under a voile. The 'nail' when view from the top has only half a head, and is ribbed with barbs on half it's length. Looks like junk, but I am thinking it has a story to tell, considering it was about 6 inches into a mullock heap at a mine entrance. [/QUOTE]
