    Hey guys, so my buddy and I just picked up this giant hunk of raw copper. It weighs around 30 lbs and it's super cool looking, unlike anything I've ever seen.

  8. âś… SOLVED Old bone found along creek - what is it?

    I found this bone while walking along a creek in Missouri. I'm curious to know what bone it is and what type of animal it came from. I assume it's a leg bone because it has a socket but it seems like a awful big socket for such a short bone. It looks old but not ancient. Any ideas?

  13. Meteorite or just a black rock?

    I am a novice rock collector and found this unique rock (?)/ meteorite (?) in Death Valley. I am unable to identify it and can’t describe it except to say that it’s very heavy, with unique ridges. The lighter part with “bubbles” would have me say that it’s not a meteorite. What do you think?
