SILVER BULLET? MOLTEN SILVER? METEORITE?

[fldaphne]

Found at low tide on Marco Island - silver polish took off lots of tarnish on what we thought originally thought was a piece of lead.It is light in weight. It is unevenly round at the bottom and comes to a couple of points with ridges that appear like drips.It cannot be bent or squeezed - it is really strong and lightweight. There is no place where a loop could have been attached that it would be some kind of charm or pendant. Any ideas?

Magnet does not work on it.

That UFO Hunters show recently did a segment about a supposed UFO sighting where the UFO was just offshore and was spewing droplets of molten metal... Not sure where that segment was filmed but if it was near Marco island you might have something

Here's a paragraph about the show i was talking about,looks like it wasn't in your area.
UFO HUNTERS: THE UFO BEFORE ROSWELL travels back to June 21st, 1947, when Harold Dahl was boating with crew and dog off the coast of Maury Island, Washington, in Puget Sound. They noticed several odd-shaped aircraft dotting the sky. One suddenly began spewing white-hot fragments over the water and onto the beach. The fiery falling debris killed Dahl’s dog and broke his son’s arm.

I have no idea! Isn't this hobby fun? You not only find money and jewelry but you can find all kinds of interesting stuff that is hard to identify!

Every once in a while someone shows up with the same thing. A silver molten metal. I've got tons of the same material from Lake Erie beaches. Soda and beer cans thrown carelessly into fires at campsites instead of being disposed of properly is the answer to your mystery metal.

Marco Island was just being developed about 1975, as I recall.

Clearing, massive dredging of canals and earth moving, creating lots. There may have been fires to clear all the brush; I wasn't there to see that.

Weigh your find and then stick it in a graduated cylinder to find the volume; a simple calculation will tell you the composition.

Or you could take it to a jeweler to ID.

What you got there is a UPS --- Unidentified Piece of Slag. These fell into a family of all sort of Unidentifiable Finds. You have:
UPS - Slag
UPI - Iron
UPB - Bullets
UPC - Coins
UPR - Relic
UPMO = Metallic Objects
And many more
IJDK - I Just Don't Know
and the famous:
WTF - self explanatory

Good luck on the classification as you will need it to explain you find.

If "It cannot be bent or squeezed" it is not aluminum.
However, I am "bent" and love to be squeezed and I am not aluminum either

Have you had the metal tested yet? I am curious.

Cool. I found a blob of silver too.
