Do Many People Go After Copper Nuggets?


Recommended Posts

Here is a copper stained nodule I found metal detecting in the Wrangell Mountains of Alaska back in 2000. There was no sign of native copper on the exterior, but it gave a strong signal and had some weight. I later sawed it open and it was nearly solid copper inside. You can see the thin line in the photo on left where the cut is. Click for larger version.
