U.P. natural copper

I found these pieces of copper in Houghton this summer, and thought it was an interesting thing to post. I went to a public park with rocks all over the place, and found many pieces of natural copper with my metal detector. Thanks for looking and HH

Very Cool. I'm going to be in the UP for a couple weeks this summer and I'm hoping to have a nice shiny new AT Pro by then. I've seen others like you that are finding that natural copper up there. There's quite a few videos on youtube of some guys finding some very impressive pieces. If I remember right some of the pieces weighed over 100lbs, and they weren't even very far down. This post has got me excited for the summer! Great finds and HH!

Thank you! I just upgraded to the AT pro a few months ago and I love it! I wish I could find chunks that big, my heaviest is probably 5 lbs.

I just found about a 5 pound piece the other day too believe it or not. It wasn't exactly "natural" per se, but it was about five pounds too. It was a mangled piece of copper pipe laying in the middle of the road in front of my house. :laughing7:

I went out and grabbed it so traffic would stop swerving into my yard to avoid it. lol. But that's the only copper in my life at the moment!
