Strange metal possibly silver.

[17GoCubsGo44]

Hey y'all! Got another great find with the metal detector. It was inside and wrapped in a half rotted potato sack buried in a flatland opening of the foliage near a creek. It hit with high tones and kept saying silver. Now to some info about it:
It's almost like aluminum but it's really heavy!
A magnet does not stick to it
It doesn't bend (accept for the small end)
I hat a torch on it for 15 min, it got red, but never dripped, melted, our even changed
It looks almost like someone tried to make homemade ingots or some kind of bar was placed on it.

I have pics of the front and back and close ups.

Any help would be appreciated!

No update yet. 3 shops said they won't touch it because it's not marked

It's made to be just like it is. Just wanted to see if anyone would pick up on it. It was made by a Jesuit Priest. It tells a story so to speak. With this new information about mining even supports my claim. It could be platinum. They didn't use it back then and threw it out. It make since as the shape too. If you knew how to read it and there is information on it. There is a possibility that what it was in reference too may still be there. Usually they are caves with stone markers. That piece is the largest I've seen. Normally I see them in stone. I wouldn't show it to everyone and keep the location a secret. It's older than 1800s. Nice find

Yes, Clearly Jesuit. Fun fact, 90% percent of stuff dug is, or was jesuit at one point.

Would have melted pretty easily, I would guess maybe Titanium. I never read the other pages yet, I will right now though.

The most interesting thing to me is it was wrapped in a sack and apparently purposely buried. Maybe some type if marker? And I really do like reading Backwoodsbob's take on things.
