Hi all,
One type of item that I found all over this Spanish colonial site in Colombia is (what I call) metal "blobs". The ring up on my AT PRo in the high 60s (and sometimes into the 70s) and they are heavy for their size. At first, I figured they were lead, perhaps to make bullets back in the day, but now I suspect that they are copper "blobs". See the photo below. Seems there was a copper mine nearby long ago when the settlement was around. I probably have 20-30 of these copper blobs and I know there is more at the site.
Question- If these turn out to be copper, is there any use for them at all? Scrap copper doesn't seem to go for much nowadays.
