Refrigerator magnets don't stick at all. This is how I found the object, with its SUPER SHINY side facing up out of the ground. It was about 1 foot down in the ground and there was no other rocks around it....Really the only reason I dug it was because I was going after a much stronger target that was above it, which turned out to be a bottle cap...I understand that to get a definite answer is to test it, but I would like to hear opinions....The owners of Golden detectors, in Golden Colorado told me that I should take it to the school of mines to have them look at it.....That is the next step..

It reminds me of slag I've found around places. I bet you could soak in acid and it will not hurt it. The ones I found had no reaction.

Does kinda look like some of the slag I've seen over around Leadville. It wasn't quite that shiny and I didn't check to see how the detector responded to it.

It could be a monument rock with ID missing. If you had a property map it may line up to a corner.
