Biggest Copper I ever found M.D.ing this A.M.

[gman7665]

I went back to an Old foundation area and Hit a Hot Spot , sounded like a HUGE Copper Cent ? Turns out to be the biggest copper find since I started Metal Detecting... seriously it was buried almost all the way in River Mud. Going down to thelocal scrap yard and Cash In ... I'll let Ya know what the wieght is and Cash Value when I get back... Also am stopping in to see My Jeweler today to see if this silver looking 34 inch Hopefully White Gold Chain is Curiosity has got the best of Me on it and I found it this time Last Year...

I have always stripped the insulation off,you'll get top $$$ for it. A utility knife works well,strech it out and slide the knife along the wire.

I was going to clean it ,Strip the wires but half was already falling off so I got a Good Price , Not Top but good for an Hours work this morning , 36 lbs. at $1.79 per lb. = $64.00 Cha Ching ... as for the Chain Neclace it was Sterling and worth $5.00 ...LOL ...

Nice payday. A shame the necklace wasn't gold. I found a similar one last year and was hoping the same thing. It turned out to be silver as well.
