Second time out with the AT Pro and found about 3 pieces of this stuff.

At first covered in soil the heart races until you find a lead bag seal minutes later and then the weight difference is huge.

They are found in soil in fields in a gold area but I would say as light in weight as Aluminium. They are hard and unbendable but if broken a silvery colour internally.

Is this what Pyrite looks like? nugget1.jpg

Welcome to TNET!

Your items may be aluminum or zinc slag. (Melted down tin foil or an aluminum can.)

Thanks Old Digger, I think you are correct as I went out again this afternoon and found some Aluminium roofing nails which had also attained a gold finish to them from being in this ground which I think is very acidic.
