Just a guess: Because of all the coal around this area, I would suppose that sulfide minerals, especially pyrite (iron sulfide) would be common. Some sphalerite (Zn, Fe sulfide) has been found in Lucerne county. Some rozenite (hydrated Fe sulfate) has been reported from Jeddo Highland coal mine in Hazleton.\n\n"Sulfide minerals typically occur in coal beds as well as in strata overlying and underlying the coal. Weathering and aqueous dissolution of the sulfide mineral oxidation products, including dissociated sulfuric acid and metals (e.g., Fe, Mn, Al), produces surface and groundwater degradation." \nwww.epa.gov/waterscience/ guide/coal/support/support2.pdf\n\n"By far the most serious environmental problem caused by abandoned mines is polluted water. It happens when rain comes into contact with a surface or underground mine and interacts with the mineral pyrite, better known as fools' gold, to form sulfuric acid. The toxic brew discharges into streams and rivers, choking off plants and wildlife and coating streambeds with iron hydroxide, tinting water yellow, red or orange. Aluminum, manganese and other metals also leach into the water.\nOld mining operations have polluted about 4,000 miles, or 5 percent, of the rivers and streams in Pennsylvania, officials estimate. The west branch of the mighty Susquehanna River is dead for its upper 70 miles; 1,000 miles of its tributaries are likewise lifeless. The Jeddo Tunnel, an engineering marvel drilled through miles of solid rock to drain deep mines in the Hazleton area, discharges 40,000 gallons of polluted water a minute into the Little Nescopeck Creek -- the largest such discharge in a state full of them."\nhttp://www.theminingnews.org/news.cfm?newsID=951

Also check out the " Four Peaks Amethyst Mine", its in Arizona. It will give you additional information which you are seeking.

Probably copper, which was one of several elements known to prehistoric man, and can be found in free form.  Carbon, as charcoal, might also qualify.

The coniferous trees in NW PA are located in NW PA.  They would include Eastern Hemlock, Balsam as well as several other firs.  Also green and blue spruce.  White pine may also be common.

Flame tests show the color of the metal (the positive ion). The negative ion is usually nitrate (NO3) or sulfate (SO4) which are colorless.

Certainly not an active one that I know about.  It would be really wierd to have one in Port Deposit, since it's right on the shores of the Susquehanna River.\n\nThis area is not known for being geologically active.  Most of that is farther to the west in the Appalachians.

Go to your local Ministry of Mines and Energy (government), they have plenty of ore samples and such lying around.

Run a borax bead test...for info see:\nhttp://en.wikipedia/wiki/borax_bead_test\n\nOr, iron ppts out as its hydroxide...a flocculent ppt... in basic soln, while sodium does not. Dissolve some in water and slowly add NaOH soln, watching for ppt.  This is only good if you are CERTAIN that spl contains only Fe or Na.

Boring Stuff:\nAtomic weight: 9.012\nMelting point 1278 degrees Celsius\nBoiling oint 2970 degrees C\nDensity 1.8 kg/L\nHas no stable isotopes.\nSoluble in all acids except nitric acid.\n\nIs the 47th most abundant elemnt and considered a rare metal.\n\n\nMedical Stuff:\nIf beryllium dust is breatehd in, they cause chronic inflamation of the lungs and shortge of breath. Brief exposure to beryllium is caused berylliosis. \nIt's carcinogenic.\n\nWar History:\nBeryllium does not absorb nuetrons and reflects some of them, and it's used in nuclear weapons and in teh nuclear energy industry. \n\nEconomic.&#92;:\nWehn copper and nickel are laloyed with Be, they become much better at conducting electricity. \nBeryllium is trasnparent ot Xrays, which is why it is used in windows for Xray Tubes.

My son and I worked on the papertowel comparison test. I am no longer allowed to buy anything but Viva papertowels, LOL! The most interesting project was the Coke test. The test shows how Coke eats away at metal (coins and nails). I have included a web page that is a very good site to go to learn more.\nhttp://www.howstuffworks.com/index.htm

This is sometimes performed in forensics looking for heavy metal poisons like arsenic. I think you may want to look at a forensics website for the real deal.

It is not a combination of iron and tin, or anything else besides protons, electrons, and neutrons.\n\nThere's a naturally occurring ore called bauxite, which was discovered near Les Baux in the south of France, which is refined to produce aluminum.\n\nAt this link   \n\nhttp://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/minerals/bauxite.html\n\nthere's a pie chart showing where it is mined today.  A lot of it comes from Australia, but that's not the only source.

What type of metal is powdered? The reason I ask is because I need to know If it is magnetic and if their are contaminant issues/

Aluminum,iron,copper,brass,etc(semi precious recyclables)are listed in most newspapers in the stocks and commodity section.but now in the inter mountain west area one should get about $0.35/lb.You will be docked proportionately for the amount of non aluminum you try to pass off Don't forget many cans other than beer and soda are made of aluminum.

Steam coal is \n\n"coal with relatively high sulfur content, suited for generating steam but not for coking"\n\n"Metallurgical coke, also known as Met coke, is a carbon material manufactured by the destructive distillation of various blends of bituminous coal. Bituminous coal is a soft, medium grade coal that contains a high percentage of volatile components. Destructive distillation is performed in coke batteries which are banks of large enclosed kiln"
