Float copper

[Copper rock]

Not very new here but this is my first post. I wish I would have found this with the metal detector. I was doing a job and the guy had a bunch of dirt hauled in to make a privacy berm infront of his house. I was picking rocks off the berm so I could plant it with grass . The bigger rocks I would pry out with a shovel. When the shovel hit it, it made a TING sound. I was pretty surprised when I brushed the dirt off of it and seen it was copper. And then I dug it out and seen it was decent size. 109 pounds

That would of been an overload for some detectors.
Now that's a big piece of copper, congrats 👏

That's awesome and rare, a collector would pay a hefty sum for that!!

Just scrap copper price would be $150 to $250!!
