[QUOTE="Huntaholic, post: 5608050, member: 605"] As some of yall may know, I log for a living. I cleared off a new landing area on a piece of property I bought a few years ago and as it turns out my logyard is on an old indian camp or village. LOTS of flint, broken points and even few good points have turned up. In addition to that, I was walking across the yard and happened to look down and saw a piece of what I THOUGHT was metal of some type. WHATEVER it is, has been melted and allowed to take its own form while cooling. I gave it to my son to see if he could forge something from it. Well as it turns out its not steel, pig iron, or anything else like that. Its patinated green, just like silver, lead and pewter do but its not lead and its not pewter, and its not copper! Every shade tree test he can run on it says its SILVER! What would a hand size x 1/4 in thick piece of silver be doing in an indian camp? The possibilities are almost endless! We are going to take it to a buddy of mine that runs a pawn shop and have him test it to know for sure if its silver. IF it is, my first inclination was to sell it, but the precious metals market almost never goes down and besides that the COOL factor of where it came from is just too good to sell it! [/QUOTE]
