mystery metal

[bruizr]

i have found metal in several different places miles apart that looks like rusted iron and sticks to my magnet that i use to shuffle around in the dug dirt and inside the hole to remove hard to find junk metal( if you do this you will be enlightened as to ho much junk metal debris there is that can play havoc with your detector in the way of false signals). i don't have pictures yet but some of it is flat and irregular shaped and some are thick or chunky.
the mystery is that none of it is detected by my ace 250, even in all metal and pinpoint mode or by my whites bullseye pinpointer. my imagination tells me it's something from another world like a crashed ufo or space scrap. maybe some unknown element they will name after me and i will be paid huge fees for speaking tours on how to find this mystery metal. any scientific idea's or metallurgic pro's out there who care to pop my delusional dream?

Where you find this metal is it around locations that might have had
blacksmith shops?

I MD on city property where a blacksmith & Farrier shop once was.
From what you are describing sounds like the slag or burned iron
that they pitched out in the iron pile.

Many farms had their own blacksmith sheds, typically near the
barns and stables.

could be slag but shouldn't that show up in all metal mode or on pinpoint?

dunno, I used to work around
an old timer/blacksmith as a kid...what you were
describing sounded like the iron around his shop.
Next time I'll have to carry a magnet and see.

Could it be that the slag is not conductive enough for
the detector but still has magnetic properties?

It is interesting though, do you have any pictures?

i don't have the digital camera installed yet but will try later on. just picture some old rusty iron, lol !
