Found unrefined copper ore!?
While I was helping my friend dig out the foundation for his basement, we came across a Very Large (2 pound or so) nugget of unrefined copper ore? Should I try to sell this? and if so how much can I sell it for? or should we keep it as a trophy?
Probably best if you kept on your window sill. The amount of copper in the ore will depend on a number of things, but more than likely it isn’t enough to sell.
If you feel adventurous, you could try to smelt and refine it yourself. Try to find the book entitled “Out of the Fiery Furnace” It chronicles how the ancients refined metals, that is to say primitively, and therefore these same methods are simple and within the reach of a back yard metallurgist.
