Well on my very first outing with my GB2 I found these nuggets:
They are extraordinarily dense, dull ashy in color, I can not scratch them with my finger nail, I couldn't even bend or scathe them with a pair of pliers.
I don't know what they are but they appear to be Silver or some alloy of silver, perhaps Nickel/Silver or Palladium or Platinum.
The other thing I was thinking was that they could be these so called "campfire nuggets" which apparently are densely compacted melted aluminum cans.
If these are any kind of aluminum I would be very surprised as they are seriously dense and heavy.
Do you have any idea what they might be? The little one has some shiny parts that look similar to gold but I have no real clue.
I found these on top of the bedrock in about 3 inches of soil by the Spokane River in Post Falls Idaho.
I have a friend that works at the Lucky Friday mine in Kellogg who says "those are silver nuggets sure as the day is long, I pull that stuff out of the mines daily." Don't know if I trust his 'expert' opinion.
Thanks much
