Hi All-
My first rock post, I'm a regular contributor on the MDing pages. Dug up this high tone screamer at a site were I have dug a handful of 1700's and 1800's coins. W. PA farm but near coal, coke and steel mills. Non magnetic, did acid test with silver, no go. Definitely heavy, so not aluminum, but not as heavy as lead. Appears to have a silver metallic crystalline structure, mineral? Or just melted metal from an old house fire?

Need ID help, thx! ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1512000897.085697.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1512000916.148398.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1512000926.113674.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1512000936.237145.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1512000948.550658.webp
 
Looks like Peacock Ore, or Bornite, to me. Really nice specimen!
