Might be lead. If it is lead it will melt at 327.46°C. stay out of the fumes it will make and do it outside.
 
A little more descriptive information would be helpful - weight ? can you scratch or scrape the surface easily ?
 
I scraped it and its really hard , real shiny underneath. Thought maybe lead don't know. Found near lake next to old house remnants with metal detector right at surface
 
Real heavy don't have a small scale but will see if i can weight it
 
Looks like zinc to me
 
Scratch/score it and put vinegar on the area, if it foams a bit then you have a zinc ingot.
 
I'm no expert, but I think it's a nickel ingot
 
Babbitt bearing alloy ingot, National Lead Company, melted and used to cast plain journal bearings in vintage machinery. I think.
