found this chunk of metal (lead?) yesterday at an old coal camp. it is small but pretty heavy for its size (3.0 oz as shown in the pic). Any ideas?

If it was grooved deeper I would suggest it is Babbitt metal from a cast bearing. Might still be. About every piece of large machinery made before WWII used them.
