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.!

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
