Hot Rocks or a rock with bits of copper in it?

[Helix]

Found this small rock mding today. Registered as a penny, sure enough looks to have copper in it. I found it at the same spot as the 35lb solid chunk of float copper I found a month or so back.. Hmm Now this is getting interesting. Perfect example of why you should look closely if not keep "hot rocks". Sorry about the bad pics, you can see the specks of green in there tho.

Is there anything good about hot rocks? My son and I call them Magic Rocks. They are a pain because they always show as a quarter on my machine.

Well I thought the same also for years till I found this 35ld pice of drift copper. Very rare find around the Chicago area........

I guess my point is, look close ...I thought this was a "hot rock".

Yes, I can see all the copper in the rock. I'll take. Better look at he ones we found. Thanks!
