That’s beautiful. Any idea if float copper is on the lower peninsula as well? I grew up by Petoskey and I still have family north of there. I try and get up there once a year. I’m thinking I may need to get out searching the woods up by the lake. I would love to find a piece of float copper.
Right? Great find and picture there Yooper! Make a fellow interested in this subset skill of this Sport! I imagine theres a few special skills a guy needs to hunt for float? Locations and strata to be aware of etc?

The owner is a friend and buys all the copper . He makes it into book ends jewelry etc. The native copper is so hard it takes a special saw and lubricant to cut it. He polishes and cuts it for me . He takes a lot of the copper to the gem show in Arizona each year. Some of the pieces are shipped all over the world.
Wow thats really cool! What would something like that cost if someone wanted to purchase one?
