Jaeger where ya at ???, I've seen lots of the green stuff but its like foam, full of bubbles.
I wish I knew what part of the process creates the slag, this stuff was from a furnace that cast the iron in sand molds so I'm wondering if it was actually
melted sand as in glass, and I think alot of the foamy stuff is impurities of the molten iron. BTW nice points eh :)

Kentucky there are 3 furnaces near me but 2 are on the gov., I have a chunk of a darker color ,my green is bubbly too , most of what I found is real small peices , I am going to wait till they clean out the ditch and it rains again and maybe I can find some more it is only about a couple hundred yards from the ruins ,they must have dumped it in the road ,way back in the 1800s.

Dana and Jaeger, those are some sweet points.  I hope my wife don't see the purple points or she will have me out on a glass hunt.  Great job.
