This heavy greyish silver stone is not magnetic but sounds like steel when two piece are struck together. Density is something like lead or a heavy metal. 4388E660-36D5-4CF3-8209-F62A0563771B.jpeg 088E3D25-8960-4C3F-9750-86BCED07D3D1.jpeg 96CBC425-9C44-4049-AECD-65A39F81E0BF.jpeg 788841EA-2FE0-498C-90F2-02C761C13482.jpeg D0E34FF3-43D1-434E-82C8-97284FDF77FA.jpeg

Looks like a metals melt, however the way to tell is to have an xray diffraction test done on it. It will be a meteorite if there is nickel in it. Those nickel tests you get for allergies might give you an indication.

Johnbrian ... Thanks for the link to the meteorite identification site. I always appreciate the presentation of factual information - even if it doesn't give me the answer I want.

Could be a piece of either pewter or silver that melted in a house fire. Finding any charcoal in the ground there?

It is not affected when put under the heat of a propane torch for extended periods. I found no charcoal around the area. mostly pasture land in a wash out with many other minerals and accumulated heavier stones.

Nice find 'but ' a meterwrong IMHO.

I'd guess lead but the torch test may have easily melted it, Silver if your lucky.

Also "not magnetic" is not good , It sure don't look like a 'Stoney ' but YNK.

How about an update on this?

A jeweler or a pawnshop would determine silver. I can't imagine any circumstances when lead could make a ringing sound when struck.
