looks too silvery to be coal. and yes coal does give a signal( a low one). been to many foundations an dug up lots of coal. almost like a nickel signal , maybe a little lower.

I wear hematite jewelry (State mineral of Missouri), and yes, it will ping on a detector, just like iron. I think this looks a lot like hematite, from the picture, anyway.

Take into the closet or somewhere where it is dark. If it glows green, it's kryptonite. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

This is a North American black diamond....very rare $$$!? ? Send $500 for instructions on their easy detection.

CO2,
In photo number Dcp02694 your specimen seems to have some sort of round nodules embedded into the rock. Would be interesting to view it under a microscope with different light sources. I also noticed it has an obsidian look too, but then you would not get a hit on your M/D. Unless those nodules are some sort of non-ferrous metal that would sound off a M/D. Good luck in your quest.
