Help to id a metal needed please.

[dtc241079]

Hello guys here i have a dull grey metal. I know its not iron slag and im pretty sure its not lead or lead pewter. since this came from the ground i first cleaned it with water then a metal polish called Peek which is a unique concentrated formula which removes tarnish, heat discolouration and oxidation from all metal surfaces like silver, brass, copper, bronze, aluminium, gold, stainless steel, pewter, magnesium and platinum. And this is the colour that is left after being polished. It does not stick to a magnet so any suggestions what metal this could be ?
Please find images attached.
Many thanks

David

I did have some hydrochloric acid for testing gold and silver stored out in my shed but a mouse took a liking to it and ate into the bottle.
