Maybe worth more as a mineral specimen, but someone has to buy it for that sort of value to be established.

Indeed. A natural history museum might be very interested in such an unusual specimen.

Still looks like rocks to me, do you know someone with a metal detector, might give you some indication, if there is metal in the rocks.

I'd hold and wait on spot prices to rise further, and eventually sell to a refiner. Might save a few pounds for myself to hold onto/pass down. Home refining sounds like fun, but not sure it's worth the effort.

Could also break some up into small novelty bags and sell for over spot.

Years ago I was up in Ontanogan MI and bought some specimen high purity silver for my dad, but it was grams not pounds. It was a rare occurrence in the high purity copper they mined around there.
