Nice!! Congrats!! Welcome to Tnet!!

it's a blob of melted aluminum often called a fire nugget .

 

[markbramich]

To heavy for aluminium. Its quite magnetic too

What is the size? A pic with a ruler or coins or hand (see the other pic by ticindig) would help. I'm going to guess it's a meteorite or a broken off foot of a cast iron bath tub or stove. Without knowing the size...

 

[markbramich]

it weighs 70 grams

This might be a possible Meteorite fragment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorite#/media/File:Oriented_Taza_Meteorite.jpg

Sure looks like it could be a meteorite. What part of the world did you find it?

 

[releventchair]

Looks like grey iron splatter from a pour that went through sand reclaiming process.

If no foundry or furnace is / was near the recovery site , was slag and discolored (not original to site) fill material evident in the area?

 

[Davers]

I sure hope it's from Space , but imho it likely 'Slag' of some sort . It does look cool tho .

 

[markbramich]

I found it on a farm in Tasmania

 

[markbramich]

It has a bronze colour in the right light

Might be hematite.

 

[diggerdeeper]

Agree with some of the other commenters , it looks like an iron tab or foot that has broken off of something larger.

 

[markbramich]

Who should I see to find out ?? Museum or geologist maybe ?

 

[markbramich]

It was a remote place where I found it. I would wonder how an ion tab or slag would end up there

That's the question we ask with all our finds in remote places, some have easy answers, but most stay a mystery. Having said that, I have no idea 'what' it is. I thought it was a stone...lol

Might be hematite.

I agree... Yes it might!
