It registers high on the AT Max, about an 85 up there with silver.

It has a slight upraised edge like a coin and hatching you can barely make out.

It's 13.2 grams, found in central texas

It's flat like a coin and evenly flat. When I lay it on a flat surface like a piece of glass it has no pivot points, it lays extremely flat.

It's too heavy for aluminum but feels too light for lead. When I scratched the edge it's bright silver extremely shiny.

It also seems to repel water much in the way concrete does when it has an oil stain.

I must have stared at this thing with a magnifying glass for 2 hours. It feels like silver because it's too heavy for aluminum, too light for lead, wont bend, non magnetic, had some type of markings at one time. Baffled.

I could be wrong, but it just looks like a piece of melted lead to me. I've never seen silver with a crust on it like that.

Pewter? Not sure how the soil in central TX is on silver, but where I live, it comes out of the ground almost as silver as the day it went in - once the dirt is removed.

Yea I never saw shiny silver come out of the ground. I'm working in 98% limestone. It sticks to stuff. I have pulled pennies that were 1/4 inch thick

It looks like a "bug" type automobile side view with some of the detail worn off. But I don't think that's what it is.
