✅ SOLVED Copper Nugget?

[mariposagold]

I found this in a local park last night. It looks like a nugget of copper and weighs just under the amount of 4 clad pennies (Cents). Seems odd to find in a park, perhaps is was created and tossed in the park? It was black, I cleaned it up a bit to reveal the color.

well that's some cool looking slag....it that's true.

maybe a copper nugget somebody accidently dropped.

 

[dennco2000]

On occasion some of the copper drips out of the mold.

Not soft at all.

It appears that you might well be correct. I've found plenty of slag, this being the most attractive slag to date.

Thank you Dennco

Agreed. First thought, Gold, second thought, damn it.

I've never found anything that so closely resembled a real nugget before this. And yes, I have owned and touched real nuggets. Nothing else like it.
