I found a smaller one once before and chalked it up as a melted soda can on a rock. But today I was searching my favorite river again and the water was low. At the water edge I was about 10ft down from the flat top. I noticed that the river had washed big holes in the bank. Since I am in Wisconsin I thought no harm of reaching in there and pulling whatever I could find out. I removed 4 big hunks of this stuff about arms lenght in. There is alot of stuff going on in this rock. Parts look metal. This rock has TONS of color And on one there is a grey rod coming out of it. Looks kinda like graphite from a pencil.








This was the first one I found. Color comes out more when it is dry

Copper?

rusty hematite? I dunno. Looks to be some kind of metallic ore though. Not the prettiest thing IVe ever seen, but it sure is neat.

It is not pretty at all but it is interesting. I first thought it was melted soda can on a lava rock but when I found the new stuff deep underground (well kinda deep) I was shocked. By the way I will gladly send some to someone who can test it to see what it is. I got a few nice pieces

I'm pretty sure this is slag from a smelting furnace.

slag for sure...check out the area behind the Sheboygan quarry....huge pieces in the woods

LOL that is where I found them. Down at the river. Pigeon river. I thought since they were buried under the river bank I thought I had something. O well the color is pretty sweet

Eh, theyre still neat! And historic!
