I wonder how many pennies (cents) you could make out of that big nugget the kid is standing by.

Yeah, I would be out searching for copper drift nuggets, too, if I lived in WI.!
When I die, I want to go like Grandpa did. He died in his sleep..... Not screaming and hollering like all the passengers in his car.

Im always seeing them turn up on Ebay from finders in WI, half lb or so...

That would be pretty a pretty cool hobby. That article spoke of one that was 7000 to 8000 lbs!

I wonder what the scrap yard would think if you brought that in. heheh
