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

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

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