They do look like some of the ores I've seen in silver mines.

You think they could be worth anything only reason is because my father just passed of cancer and just really in need of some extra cash due to helpingy mother so she doesnt lose the house

I wouldn't put your hopes in getting much money out of your rocks. Not knowing really what they are for sure would probably not gain much interest in rock and mineral collectors. Very unique mineral specimens are what collectors desire. I've dealt with a mine for years that looks for rhodochrosite. The mine is operated by the owner of Collectors Edge who deals in mineral specimens from all over the world. I've been to their warehouse many times and it blows me away with the prices you'll see on some of their rock. This is a link to their website where you can get an idea on the type of mineral specimens collectors are eager pay money for.

Looks a lot like pyrites, and here's an example of some I commonly see. Picked it up from a primary silver mine dump.
As Tamrock says, probably not of any significant value unless it's some rare mineral that you knew where it came from.

I heard if it looks like gold in the daylight and still shines in the shade then it’s gold. But I’m no gold expert
