Found while walking my dogs near a landfill. It has a light colored sand in some of the crevices. As you can see, it is somewhat nodular. It is hard and rough and there is a parting line that goes all around. I'd like to split it open but I haven't yet. Reminds me of a geode.


some sort of scale (within the photo) would be helpful.
it could be as small as a grain of salt, or as large as the moon!

I seem to have fun.

The sample I collected there ran 173 g/t Au, 202 g/t Ag! I shoulda kept a bigger chunk for my own personal collection...

Unfortunately, I would need to pack out half a tonne of high-grade for it to be worth more than a couple hundred bucks... I dont think theyd let me back on the helicopter with that much rock! :-P
