What is it?

[aslterp7]

I went hunting today and found this and others like it near a tree 3 inches down, ace 250 said it was nickel. My friend said it was metal poop from a metal bird.

it's probably a form of iron pyrite

Does a magnet stick to it?

It didn't stick to a magnet. I could of dug up 10 more of these around that tree.

Coal clinkers from a furnace, boiler or other coal burning source.

It looks to me like an aluminum can that has been smeltered in a campfire. They undergo some weird changes if left in the hottest part for enough hours.

They will go way past the "globule" stage.

so wont you when you have enough drinks willy

Alum. can - sounds resonable - it is very light and light colored like the bottom of a can. It was about 20 feet from a campfire near a tree. I found lots of them.

thanks
