Will it stick to a magnet.

Thought calculating the density would ID, but 4.2 doesn't match any metal in the tables I looked at. Either it is an alloy or I miscalculated. Back to the drafting board...

Hi, probably a dumb question - but did you calibrate the scale before weighing?

No it isn't dumb, because I did NOT. Lol, brand new from Harbor Freight. I knew I should have...

Once you calibrate the scale post the weight.

So what did the scale display after calibrating it?

I'm sorry, I couldn't find anything that was for sure a specific weight, and then I had to leave for work. I will go find something today though!

It did have a piece of fabric, paper, fiber or something like that on that side. When I was digging it up, it was on there and then I brushed the dirt off and it came off.

Take to any jeweler or pawn shop and ask them to test.
