For your consideration, I will post some silver ore, from the Nipissing Mine in Cobalt Ontario, that I picked up last weekend metal detecting. These rocks were found within a few feet of each other in an old tailings pile.
I cut the small one to see what it looked like inside and I think you will agree that it is a pretty good rock. I don't have the tools to properly process larger rocks, so will sell them whole. All have some silver showing on the outside and are very heavy for their size. This is high grade silver ore.
If you are not happy with your purchase, I will make it right. Also, if anybody is near Toronto, I have more rocks and you are invited to drop by to select your own plus save the shipping. To make this easy, I will post a price here which includes shipping and insurance anywhere in Canada or the USA.
Rock 1: 2 lbs About 3.5" x 1.5" x 2" - rough cut with tile saw on one end to expose inside. Not polished. (2 pictures) $100 USD
Rock 2: 3 1/4 lbs About 5"x2"x2.5" No cuts. (1 picture) $150 USD 
Rock 3: 5.5 Lbs About 4.5' x 4' x 3" Not cut. (1 Picture) $250 USD

I'll vouch for him. My original box was pilfered by postal employee and he refunded my dough.
He is now replacing my shipment.

Nice finds Greig. Sorry I wasn't able to get out with you this time to find some nice silvers. Hopefully next year when the snow melts.
These pieces should make great cabs and will shine up like chrome.

I can vouch for him also. You probably seen the slab off the ore I bought from him. Mine was just as he described and more.

I would like to get back to give the spot another go because for sure it is not cleaned out. It is up the hill from the kabold and the quality of the ore is better than I have found recently. |

I forgot to wish you happy birthday old man. 🎂 Hey, thanks. I am now 56, but still feel like a kid (the mirror says otherwise).
My dog Daisy and I spent the day rock hounding. I collected a nice feldspar and apatite cluster, plus a number of broken green and red apatite crystals. I was actually looking for titanite, so was a bit disappointed, but any day out digging/exploring is a pretty good day. Just as it was getting dark, I wandered into an old mine with radioactives, where there was plentiful bladed tremolite, smoky quartz and molybdenum (and perhaps other stuff), so I will have to go back there another day.

Hi Greig. We had some snow but it has all melted. It is getting colder here now and I am sure that winter is right around the corner. Leaving for work on Tuesday morning for 2 weeks. Hopefully there will still be a chance to find some nice silvers before everything freezes up.

Hopefully there will still be a chance to find some nice silvers before everything freezes up. Darn it. Would have been nice for a final kick at the can this year and do some detecting with you. |

Slices like butter (almost). Ended up with 914 grams of slices of various thicknesses from 3/16" to 3/8". I'll post some in buy and sell a little later.
