Right before it started snowing back around Thanksgiving Cyndi was helping with trash pickup around town. Found this on the side of the road and brought it home.
Dry
Wet
And yeah, that's a five gallon bucket it's sitting on. Seems to be solid, too.
Guess i could break it up and throw it in the tumbler.
Just kidding. Was told I can't slab it yet.
Thanks for looking.

Is that Chrysocolla or Turquoise? I have found some interesting things while doing road side clean up, but nothing that nice.

Makes you want to grab a bucket and start walking the ditches, even tho we don't have anything THAT nice here in Iowa, you would still make gas money home with the can deposit at the end of the day ! That was a serious SCORE !

A dead squirrel is better than a dead skunk, lol!

Thanks all. We find stuff like that, but that is really about the biggest/nicest yet. They've been mining copper here for 100 years so there is interesting stuff scattered around.

nice. You've done a great job training your wife which rocks to look for and it appears she can also lift the big ones.

nice. You've done a great job training your wife which rocks to look for and it appears she can also lift the big ones. Oh, she's pretty good at finding things. When we go out I cover more ground and gt more rocks, but invariably she gets the nicest one.
