    WOW!!! Wonder how it ended up there on the side of that mountain. Imagine them guys back then making a trek up that mountain and then one of them got tired and said let me rest up for a while and have a drink of water from my metal canteen. Then after taking a gulp of water he accidentally drops that metal canteen on that what he thought was a rock he was sitting on and Hear that familiar Cling....then he stands up from where he was sitting at and say Holy Guacamole!!! This is not what i think it is.... image

    That is a chunk of Galena.

    If you scroll down, the largest silver nugget had to be broken into three pieces to be gotten out of the mine.
