Silver? Nickel?bar... industrial?

[cal777]

Hi there,
We found this metal bar while beachcombing today. Our metal detector identified it as silver.
,
Not being experts in anything, we googled silver bars and applied the ice cube test(it melted way quicker than ice on another surface) and the magnet test (it is not magnetic). When polished/cleaned it is very shiny.
The lettering on the front that we could decipher reads. TUF (?)-T IN High TEST
Jackson-Wheeler Metals Service BKLYN NY.
The Back is stamped Genuine Nickel No. 1
This weighs 4.2lbs
There are also numerous sized drilled? holes of varying depths on the top and bottom.
This was found on tidal river beach in Maine
It's probaly nothing special, but we would appreciate any information that we can find. Thanks!

Must have been fun to find, as that would get me excited to have a bar showing as silver! Welcome to TreasureNet!
