They weigh half a pound together very heavy

Looks like Lead, maybe solder but looks too much for that.

It came out the ground very shiny but its hard to bend unlike lead u cant bend it

Its not silver, doesn't look ANYTHING like it...Its either Lead or Pewter based on the weight you've given

As cool as it would be to be Silver....its not

I agree with Perses - probably melted soda cans. Thanks for sharing...

Hi yes i dont think its silver but iv found pounds and pounds of lead and this doesnt scratch and is harder than lead and too heavy to be cans iv never found pewter so could possibly be that thanks for the info guys

Pewter is a Lead-Alloy & so is what you have, look closely at the dents/stratches which would indicate a softer metal. ie. if not pewter, its a Lead-alloy of some type

Could be Babbitt metal - this was used to cast new bearings on site for machinery before ball bearings became available. Nuggy
