Silver Nuggets Or Lead?


Recommended Posts

hi there, I found 2 nuggets ,smaller one 10cm deep,larger nugget under a 10 kilo slab of rock and 5cm deep.1 meter apart 

looks like lead, a few small quartz stones attached.

maybe old musket bullets or shotgun slugs ,melted in bushfire ?

metal is soft, gunmetal silver when rubbed and will tarnish over time. any idea! cheers ,Paul

I found a couple of these at Durikai last week. Mine where smaller.

Wish the lighting was better so maybe I could make out the colors a little better.

That could be silver but I can't be sure.

Good finds anyway, something unusual to make one take notice for sure.

thank you all for the info, yes I think it is galena .  

A lead silver mine is a few miles away , my detector is picking up signals all around the area where I found the galena. will leave it for another day . I'm looking for that gold.

cheers

Paul
