I don't know how far you are from a university but I take unknown rocks and fossils there and they are always very interested and helpful. (and free)

I was metal detecting in a park playground and found several small rocks like this. None of the ones I found were this big but they were found with the detector and turned out to be aluminum. They looked exactly like this and I found them in a sand box. Hope you find out what it is.

Hey guys. New to the site. In PA is a good place to find such things. It is an ingrediant for metal or steel. We have a trucking place near the house and they fall out of the trucks all the time. (Beaver county PA place called Kinder Morgan in Industry) walk along the road and you can have a sack full in no time.
