Might be lead. If it is lead it will melt at 327.46°C. stay out of the fumes it will make and do it outside.

A little more descriptive information would be helpful - weight ? can you scratch or scrape the surface easily ?

 

[dukester1]

I scraped it and its really hard , real shiny underneath. Thought maybe lead don't know. Found near lake next to old house remnants with metal detector right at surface

 

[dukester1]

Looks like its been in water

 

[dukester1]

Real heavy don't have a small scale but will see if i can weight it

Looks like zinc to me

Scratch/score it and put vinegar on the area, if it foams a bit then you have a zinc ingot.

I'm no expert, but I think it's a nickel ingot

Babbitt bearing alloy ingot, National Lead Company, melted and used to cast plain journal bearings in vintage machinery. I think.
