I am ordering a few tools soon to start polishing the small ones myself this year. The places that polish now want a arm and a leg for example 5 pound chunk polished will sell for 160-200 hundred dollars. I will post some later in the summer . If anyone likes them we can make a trade of some sort and mine will be a hell of a lot cheaper

Holy Deep Hole, Batman. That is a honker for sure. I don't think I've ever seen a specimen that large. Congrats. I will be waiting to see what this one looks like after you polish it!

That's impressive! What do you do with it, just recycle it?
And don't let the meth heads find out, they'll trash your yard!

Do you have much luck with it? Are you far from the UP
I am at the Southeastern part of Wisconsin, but I do have a little luck with much smaller pieces of float copper.

Did you start out looking for float copper or was this a chance find?
I am thinking you were looking for float copper because I can not imagine digging 3Ft by chance.
