What type of metal is this?

Found on the beach on the treasure coast. Seems too hard to be silver. Its not magnetic. Maybe pewter? I'm a newbie so any helpful hints would be very appreciated thanks!

could be what is left from a bonfire on the beach or even from a charcoal grill. Often times aluminum cans are thrown in the fire and come out as blobs, usually not recognizable and sometimes heavy if the can melted into a solid blob. If it has been there a while it can take on a strange look. You can do a metals test on it to be sure.

Okay I'll give it a try. I figured if it was a melted can it'd be magnetic. But thanks for the info.

It could be space junk. Lots of unique alloys are scattered along that part of Florida.

"Can nuggets" Our local beaches are full of them.
