   What about Galena ore as a possibility. Could be full of lead and silver.  The discovery location would also help.

I would suggest Ilmenite over Hematite.  Ilmenite has more Pyrite (and even Gold) in it than Hematite.  There is an Ilmenite location North of the San Fernando Valley in the San Gabriel Mountains and it assayed with Silver and Gold content.  If you slice the material and it is Ilmenite the Titanium Needles will polish and much brighter Silver than the surrounding Iron.
