I found this outside when I was metal detecting and it looks odd like it may been a part of a meteorite or something that fell from the sky. It doesn't stick to a magnet it's not silver or gold then what is it? It pretty heavy and weighs 55.4 grams and there is no way of bending it. it is hard as a rock. Email me at [email protected]. I found it a long time ago and I need to know what it is and I don't know what else to do or how to find out what metal it is. I know it is kind of weird but It doesn't smell like nothing and it doesn't stink or anything like copper or brass would, so I need more information!

Looks like lead, its not magnetic.
Re: Some Kind of metal that I need to know what it is.
It didn't say led on the metal detector.
Re: Some Kind of metal that I need to know what it is.
It looks like lead to me, would be impossible to tell from a photo. Take it to a jeweler to be sure. good luck.
Re: Some Kind of metal that I need to know what it is.
Thanks for responding, I did take it to a jewelry shop and they didn't know what it is either.
Re: Some Kind of metal that I need to know what it is.
Looks like a bunch of lead or some other metal slag. Not from outerspace...
Re: Some Kind of metal that I need to know what it is.
Yea but it kinda looks like a meteorite.
Re: Some Kind of metal that I need to know what it is.
All I can say is this makes a high pitch sound when you bang it against something and lead just thuds.
Re: Some Kind of metal that I need to know what it is.
maybe it's nickle?? If you think about it, a nickle makes that sound when you drop it. You should take it to a metal scrap yard. They will definately be able to tell you what it is.
Re: Some Kind of metal that I need to know what it is.
Some coin dealers have meters that tell the composition of metals...80% lead 20% nickel..etc. The equiqment is expensive so you may want to call first to see if they have it. Also some junk dealers have this equipment, but again I would call them first. This also may be a piece of space junk that burned up in the atmospere. Send a photo to NASA to rule it out. Most meteorites are magnetic, but some have only a small amount of metal so you can't rule out meteorite. Good luck.
