Does a magnet stick to it?

Aluminum that was melted in a fire.

Roughly, about a 12 pack

A nugget that size would easily weigh over a pound; probably closer to 2 pounds. Gotta agree on the aluminum.

Specific gravity will tell you all.

Ever seen what happens to a aluminum wheel in a car fire ??

Sure looks like aluminum that was melted to me. And I agree if it was silver or gold, it would be heavy.

I've seen what happens to an entire Ford pickup with aluminum wheels and topper while parked inside an attached garage, while on fire. NOT a pretty sight!!
