Re: my Junk for the Year

Any chance of getting better pics of the hot rock? Those critters always interest me.

Meteorites usually have lots of iron in them, so don't discount a rock because of iron. Is it magnetic? What does it air test ID as?

Pic has green spots...copper perhaps? But it doesn't look slaggy, could be natural mineral formation, or decayed iron bolt through copper relic...better pics might help. Are green spots dull and rough or glassy?

it is not magnetic and I dont know what an air test is?
thanks for you interest in the rock
could Just be UFO Poop? LOL
 
Air test=swipe rock over detector coil, check ID.

This really looks like a natural mineral formation. The green color just really has me scratching my head...looks alot native copper rocks from the UP...but it would be a long ways from home in this case. Though copper nuggets did get traded far and wide, could even be an indian artifact.

It also resembles something we find here...the coal clinker. Metals, either natural or introduced, get oxidized in a coal burning furnace, mixed with coal ashes to create a light weight, pourous rock that make detector go nuts. But I haven't seen any green ones...

It's not a space rock. If it's heavy and compact my vote is for native copper mineral formation...if it's light weight it's more likely a coal clinker. Native copper also known for containing silver...this might be a good one to slice open and polish. Looks like a pretty good keeper to me.

Yeah, the air test I did that in the field
I had to do to find Rock (kicked the rocks a side) lost target.. went back to rocks Pick that little Bogger
up and bingo! target found

Oh yeah you must be psyhic Cause I found this Rock close to an abandon railroad line,
But also was and Indian Settlement.
Your Info on the Rock is much appreciated
 
The rock looks very similar to the rocks i find around the old sandwich glass factory that burned down the whole area is covered with them
