Eric, If the copper and silver are very fine they will weather and vanish as fine bits or solution. However a deep vein of copper and silver can weather to surface and slowly erode over time. It gets a protective patina that helps it keep.

I suspect that the commonest element in the crust after oxygen (aliminium) might end up reduced to metal at depths by even more energetic oxidations that strip it of it bound element in the absence of oxygen. Small [articles in a reducing anhydrous environment might endure and be found with a microrobe from depth. I doubt surfae rock would have it(ecept at the core of a massive drift)

I do not think it will survive in clay, got a reference?, if so we could put a lot oe Hall people out of business. Were there any signs that a microbe made it(shape), as only an externally powered mechanism(like a bacterial reducer) would do this, and if you could culture those bigs and breed them you could grow your own aluminium foil, of fenders.
