[QUOTE="Dodgygoose, post: 612205, member: 7995"] Hey all, I'm new to metal detecting, and I found a couple of fist size nuggets of this ore bellow a old timers gold mine. Heaps of iron stone around but this stuff is none magnetic, heavy like holding gold and is hard as hell to crack with a hammer. The outside is corroded from pyrite rust and the inside is grey silver solid reflective micro crystalline structure. Thinking solid mineral of some type, but as I said I'm new to all this, what do I do with this?????? Your knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
