I have been "holed" up at work the last few months, and have had no time to do any real detecting, and especially so since my hay fever has been extra bad this year, making me curse every green plant on the planet, lol! So I HAD to get out and do something! I decided to go to a spot that I have had really good success panning for sapphires, and only found a few green tiny ones, and the this showed up in the pan! I didn't have my phone with me when I found it, so I took the first pics on the tailgate when I got back to my truck. Still a little shocked! It's almost 10 grams ,and looks like it has quite a bit of copper mixed in to it ,but I am really happy! Thanks for looking!

Accidentally hit post on my phone when I was trying to attach the pics , and can't figure out how to "edit" with the app!
