The reason I ask is I would like to find a small quantity of it on my Missouri Ozark farm and process it to a metal sample to put on a plaque of wood (harvested from the farm, of course) or possibly cast it into a figurine. If enough galena found I could probably get some silver as well. I know about the dangers of lead.
I have a old Garrett detector near bottom of the line that has done pretty well for me. It had trouble out west in mineralized soil so I know it detects things other than solid metal. I read all this thread and I found no mention of detecting anything other than pretty pure metal with the exception of a mention of diamonds. I know they are carbon and at least some forms of carbon are very conductive, but do diamonds show up on a detector? What other key things might show up? I suppose some forms of iron are a main one.
