Metallic rock and old bullet????

[Rob66]

Hi all....Took this rock to a Gemologist and he, could not pinpoint it. Told me to hang on to it, till... I find out what it is.

The bullets, just wondering how old they are,
and whats up with the tooth looking one?

Any help on the rock is appreciated.

Heavy like gold.
not iron.
looks like a bunch of metallic
grains pressed together.
hardness about a 6.(I think )

Thanks RD

The bullets look modern to me. The tooth shaped one may be a cannelured spitzer that separated at the cannelure.

The bullets are contemporary. The lead one could date back to the 1920's but I don't think there is enough oxidation for it to be that old. They are all still in use today. Monty

It is definitely not a meteorite. It might be some sort of pyrite. I have found some a lot like that.
