[QUOTE="gcause, post: 74380, member: 1497"] Found these specimens on the weekend, haven't seen this metal before, is it Tin? Its right through the rocks in seams, its the dark coloured specks and lines in the rock, its very reflective and silver coloured which is how I spotted it on the ground. It was all over the place where I was. The photos don't do it justice as it is very shiny but looks dull in the photos.
