compared to the size of the lighter, 35 lbs seems a little extreme. unless that's one of those jumbo sized novelty lighters

In my opinion looks to be similar to a small glacial till copper boulder. Sometimes copper has silver inclusions. Not sure if Oklahoma has glacial till though? Do other rocks in the field have similar weathering? Interesting find.

Its loged baged and taged!!! trust me.. The best think I have come up with in the last 4 hours is... Its a Native American "Trade Nuget" .. Ok 35lbs Nuget.. They don't just fall out of ones pocket!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Helix]

Oh Man ... I just sold it for scrap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jewelerguy]

I hope you didn't take it that I was putting your find down. I think it's cool. To me it looks like it is a natural nugget or formation. I would think it would be worth more than scrap copper value if it's a natural specimen. maybe you could take it to a rock and gem show and get an expert's opinion
