So basically this material was found inside a jar in north africa ( it was extracted from 5-10 meters down ). The jar contained 5kg of these and some kind of antiques The gold detector went on on it but i can't tell what is it exactly. Can you please help me if you have any ideas about it. Thank you.

Welcome to TreasureNet.

Impossible to tell for sure, pictures are out of focus, can you post better pictures that are in focus? The 2nd picture at the 1 o'clock position looks like it could be a gold nugget.

First pic looks like pyrite due to the angular nature and color.

Please post some better pics. Strong lighting and magnification

Even a NO response from the poster , I say to everyone else , do a scratch test on a piece of unglazed tile on the backside. and use a known gold karat and scratch it on this unglazed side and the scratch your "gold" next to it and compare it's color to see how close it would be for your sample. OR just take it to a Jewler to see !
