I left these out of my 1-18-2018 finds picture because they were in a small medicine bottle in the truck. Cleaned them up last night and determined none are magnetic. The one on the right appears to be molten metal, while the other two appear to be cast iron. All three drove me bonkers trying to find them in the fine loam of the woods floor, and they were all very solid targets on the Equinox. Three individual finds.

I hate finding a bellybutton ring on the beach, but not the back!

Well the other two cannot be Iron if they are non-magnetic. They have the appearance of Lead and the one on the right might just be the same with less corrosion on it.

They look very similar to what I call alumagunk. The end result of throwing your beer can in the campfire. They normally ring up as dimes and quarters on the atpro.

I don't really remember what they rang up as, because this was my first hunt deep in the woods, and I was just digging every solid/repeatable/loud signal. Regardless, loud repeatable signals get the blood pumping. :icon_thumleft:

Melted aluminum is also common on our beaches here and weighs a lot less than lead. Good way to tell which it is.
