I just joined here and am very new to tumbling. What types of rock can I expect to find in south eastern wi.?
Is there even any that may be worth tumbling?

hey james take a look at this i did a quick read and sounds like you got some nice stuff near by www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0GDX/is_1998_Nov/ai_53355998heres just a taste The Wisconsin Magmatic Terrane, an Early Proterozoic sequence of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks, crops out across central Wisconsin. Many important massive sulfide bodies have recently been found there (LaBerge 1996). One deposit, the Flambeau mine near Ladysmith, has already been mined. Other deposits are being explored for future mining. Chalcocite, chalcopyrite, gold, azurite, malachite, cuprite, sphalerite, silver, pyrite, and pyrrhotite occur here, along with such exotic species as pyrarygyrite, krennerite, dzahlindite, and kolbeckite. |
