Dennis you are right I stand corrected on the solid copper alloy ring .I learned something here myself from you and Bill. Bill Cohenour emailed me with the facts also.
Seems there are about 15 copper colored Non-Nevada strikes. They are listed in Bill's Non-Nevada silver strike book. I usually passed this page by I will now start looking at the strike books closer.
There is always something new to learn about silver strikeing.
