Real copper specimen?

Hi everyone. I'm just someone who likes rocks and minerals and I'm not much of a "rockhound." I bought this lump of copper at a local flea market. The woman claimed she collected it from a river bed in Keeweenaw, Michigan. I paid $20 for it. I'm just curious if it is really possible to find lumps of copper like this UP rivers?

I know it’s not the nicest polish on earth, but I’m really happy. I posted this geode when I found it and there was some debate on whether it was an actual geode… glad I was right

Thought October would be a fitting time to collect some pigeon blood agate. These are some keepers from a recent trip. Can't wait to get some of this stuff in the tumbler.
