Screaming metal detector and pointer. Need help with identification.

[theroots]

I found this 4-5 yrs ago and just never had it analyzed. Every surface has continual response from my metal detector as well as my pointer. It weighs 5.5 lbs and measures about 6.5" x 5". The entire surface area is shiny but not flaky. Any ideas?

Maybe a chunk of lead.

Yes, maybe Lead.

Can you tell us more about how and where (in general terms) you found it?

Were it mine, I'd definitely be looking for some type of analysis to confirm what
it actually is.

Could be graphite. I have some sites that have a lot of it. The rounder it is, the better it sounds.

If it is lead, a knife will leave a mark when pressed on it.

Looks like A rough silicone stone to me.
