These are what I do to some of the copper I find thought I would share. The 2 jagged ones came out of rock after soaking in acid and the other 4 are float. float nuggets.jpg

Very nice! You find those in the old mine tailing piles or just out and about randomly? ...not that I'm trying to pirate your spots :roll: ...haven't been to the Keweenaw since I took up detecting. Used to agate hunt up there but the beaches all seem to be bought up and private....better agate hunting around Grand Marais for my purposes nowadays.

The 2 jagged ones are from rock . The other 4 are float were found in the woods. Don’t do much with the bigger pieces of float to hard to cut . Love the agates.
