I have these two, they look like platinum nuggets when I look on Pinterest.
Streaks grey on toilet lid, hard, does not scratch with steel knife. IMG_2653.JPG IMG_2652.JPG IMG_2651.JPG IMG_2654.JPG IMG_1594.JPG IMG_1595.JPG IMG_1596.JPG

They are very heavy and appear only metalic, they have little to no attraction to a magnet overall.

And they both were found in probably slag. That probably means everything but I can not find what it does.

On an AT Pro, it comes up 62 if that helps.

I could bet on one of two things. A "melt", as in a melt from a furnace or meteorite. Probably the only way to know for sure is to get an xray diffraction test on a rice grain sized piece of one. I think they still cost about $45.00.

Thanks Smokey, it seems to be solid Nickle, would that mean anything? I do not mind paying for the test either.
