Huge mystery rock

Posted by Bob Drake on November 26, 2014 at 6:25pm

I went out detecting today for probably the last time this year and while searching the woods for a new cellar hole came across this. A massive bright shiny silver rock. At first I thought "why would someone spray paint a log silver" so I went for a closer look. It's definately rock as it has a quartz vein running through it. I put my machine on it for size and color contrast. Kinda neat and unexpected in the middle of nowhere.

Just dont tell me it's valuable cause there aint no getting that bad boy out of the woods lol.

    The rock is a bit blue in those pics. I took a closer pic of a quartz vein in it that shows a closer match to actual color.
