Just for one more "second" - I agree that it is slag. Not unusual for a magnet not to stick to it. The small amount of iron can get spread throughout the matrix of the slag making it highly visible to the metal detector - But - there isn't a high enough concentration in any one area for a magnet to stick to it. Or it could of course be something other than iron. It would still be interesting to try to figure out where it came from. I don't think a regular old camp fire would get hot enough to generate slag. Also - here's an interesting tid bit - some bench jewelers collect slag and then cut it into faceted "stones" for making jewelry. I've seen it in green, orange, blue etc.
The good thing is that this find means there were people here. After metal detecting for a while and getting frustrated - I learned on this forum that finding iron, slag etc is actually a good thing - it means there is a chance to find something cool around. Good luck with it. HH
