Can you Tell me What this is?

[rks1949]

I was out this morning and got 2 hard signals. They were in the 90's range (AT PRO) so I dug them. Both were at about 8 inches down in the hole. These aren't magnetic,they are hard,and ring like a bell when hit together. They are a bright silver color once they are scratched (hard to do). I don't have a clue as to what they could be?

Most likely Melted aluminium. Possibly melted silver. I find alot of melted metals in the spots I hunt, I should check them but, i usually just end up chucking them into the trash bin.

Thanks,these came from an old park! I thought they were aluminium also,but they are way too hard,and heavy,I think?

 

[andre1002]

If they are heavy then they might be work getting checked out. Any questionable metals I find I usually take to the cash for gold places and have them do a acid test.. (usually at no charge here) .....

 

[rks1949]

Thanks,I'll get them checked out!

My husband got these in a find when we searched Howarth Park Beach near Mukilteo, WA and we have yet to discover what this is. Does anyone know? I took a few pics and the first few came out pretty shiny then my last one was fine when I ended up holding the piece. We think it might be a Silver Nugget or something like that. Can anyone help us?

I've found a couple of these to I kept them in my collection one is pretty big mine is same thing you described not sure what they are

How big is the top one? Because it almost looks like the broken end of a spoon or something. It looks like it has definition, symmetry to the edge and the pattern. Or I could just be imagining things...

It measures, 3 1/2 X 2 inches. Weighs 5 oz.

The last pic sure looks like aluminum!! Aluminum isn't as soft as lead and you cannot scratch it with a fingernail like you can lead.

At 5 ounces for a piece that size, I doubt it's aluminum. Get it checked.

 

[junkless]

Do a displacement test measured in ML and accurately measure in grams. It's really hard to tell from the pic what the dimensions are and that will give you a much better specific gravity to try and ID off of.

All the melted aluminum I find is light weight and I also don't think melted aluminum would ring out I think it would be more of a clacking sound.

This could be Platinum Ore , I have some but it has sharper edges .... I'd check it out .... Woodstock

RKS1949 ... At this point I think it still could be Aluminum , even if the one piece weighs 5 ounces . Aluminum comes in different densities . I have a block of aircraft grade hard Aluminum and it's 3 5/8" x 2" x 5/8" and it weighs 5.66 ounces ! So if you're not sure of the source from where it came it's hard to say it weighs to much . In your case I'd do a home check before I start to count my cash , but I hope it's not because it's a nice chunk of change if it's Silver . I myself think you have Aluminum of a higher grade . IMHO , Woodstock

I just took what I had and heated with torch it didn't get red hot it melted so I guess I have aluminum
