Do you live in the great lakes states anywhere? Please tell the folks where you found the copper as it is found in several areas of the country (just so you won't waste some of the peoples time looking for copper when it isn't in their area).

If you want to find copper ore or other metalic minerals check out a website called Mindat.com and you may find what metals occur in your area.

Good luck

I haven't had it checked out at the gift shop but I'll guess around $20-$25. I sold a peice last year that was 45#'s and got $200 for it.
