Never seen nothin like it

A few months ago while hiking in the mountains near our house in eastern Ky I came across a strange piece of rock,metal,ore? When I smelted this strange rock down the silver began to pour out like you were squeezing a sponge. I was a big sad to hear the guy testing it at jewelry store say he could definitely rule out silver, upon the acid test it was as if you’d poured water on it( didn’t phase it). He believed it to be platinum or some type of materials off an a asteroid . Anybody ever seen anything like this, the middle picture is ore before I smelted it

Get it tested elsewhere. Your description of the "silver" running out when heated sounds exactly like what I read about the cowboys that found the Comstock Lode in Nevada. They put rocks around a campfire and silver started running out of the rocks. WooHoo! Maybe you found a silver lode in E. KY. Gary

Looks like corroded aluminum to me.

After doing my research on ways to test platinum, I stumbled across the peroxide method . On the videos the platinum ore and platinum jewelry started fizzing ( little bubbles ) about 5-10 after dropping in cup of peroxide. Sure enough this stuff does the same thing.?��

Do you know what the price of platinum is today?
