I've used a Fisher Gold Bug II, though now I have a cheaper Garrett model.

I did some lode prospecting over the summer and collected quite a bit of good ore. Generally I prefer larger chunks over the smaller ones. So my typical chunk would weigh between 10 to 80 lbs. This piece broke the average on the low side. But it seemed suspicious to me.

It has been sitting for a month until two days ago, when I decided to begin taking tarnish off. This took a better part of my day.

The results are shown in the photos? So what should I do with it? I'd consider offers.

PM, or email me directly for questions.
