This blob of metal is 2-1/2 oz. I tried testing it with various methods available to me. It does NOT mark a white sheet of paper. It does darken when bleach is dropped on it, but most things get darker when wet. Very hard to scratch with a knife, but it can be done. Seems WAY heavier than aluminum slag. It is non-ferrous. I don’t believe it is a rock; if it is, it is almighty heavy. It was found near the surface of a farm dump. I’m very intrigued with it. Tried an ice cube test. The ice melts freaky fast. Vinegar had basically done nothing earlier.

I can’t put any more time in this item. It will get stored in my “unsolved mysteries” can, for now. I can tell everyone I found it while hiking near Roswell, NM! 😎
