Metal - NOT Magnetic.

[Matt1344]

Have no clue. You always hope for meteorites when you see stuff like this but I think it not being magnetic and not being smooth (from my limited research) kind of rules them out.

Some type of molten metal that hit the ground hot though.

What type of metal would it be?

Looks like some kind of slag. Any clue as to the history of the place where you found these? A brass or bronze foundry perhaps?

Pretty common to find melted aluminum cans everywhere.

Melted? Why is that, Mick?

Bonfires and beer cans equal melted aluminum cans.

On one of my favorite hunting grounds is a camping area. This area is about 30 acres of camp sites and I find aluminium slag all over because of the fire pit areas..no rings just clear places on the ground that people build camp fires. People throw beer cans in and they melt...over time with rains and such, they get buried.

Is it heavey? Could be lead? I've found tons of lead, melted and in ingots, in backyards before, was a common substance to repair pipes with etc.

You ought to hunt the dunes at the mouth of the Umpqua River. They run ATV's and dirt bikes in the area, and people camp right there, in and out of the camp ground. Then in the evenings they build big fires, drink beer, throw the can in the fire, and do those things that people that have had a little too much tend to do, like run ATV's through the coals and blast the aluminum nuggets all over the place. I gave up there, just because there was so many nuggets scattered what seemed like everywhere, and my MXT loved them.
