Copper finds on Laurium’s poor rock piles

What does this fissure copper specimen look like to you?

Ana & Sera Lester don’t need metal detectors to find float copper on Copper Country rock piles. It’s in their blood – perhaps much like the old Cornish miners who directed underground explorations for C&H and other Lake Superior copper mines.

Even these “poor rock” piles on the gasplant trail yield copper – and modern electrolytic & other refining techniques can extract other valuable minerals, for those interested in space-age industries. Of course, large corporations scoff at small quantities – but the opportunity awaits the small-industry adventurers.
