Finally was able to get out of the house and go do some metal detecting. Fighting off the mosquitos, horseflies, and super humid temperature I got a good hit. Wooah! What a nice piece of silver! After an acid bath it weighs close to 6 lbs. My best piece yet 
It is raw natural silver ore which comes from Cobalt, Ontario. This piece was found in some old mine tailings. The funny thing is that probably hundreds have people over the years have walked right over the spot where this piece was found while looking/detecting for silver. It was that close to the road. I got a single at about 5 inches down and it turned out to be a small piece of silver. Scan the hole again and there was another small piece at about 11 inches. Dug that one out and then again got a really good signal. At about 20 inches deep i pulled out the one shown in the picture. I rescanned the hole again and got a couple weak signals from my detector which means there is probably more down there ever deeper. It was very hot that day and the bugs were driving me crazy so i packed it up and went home. I will be back again to dig another couple feet in the hole when it is not so hot and the bugs are not as bad. I am not sure what else to say so if you have any questions about it feel free to ask 
is this raw natural silver? or slag? or what? inquiring minds want to know
