So after every thing was done and looked at by some people here and in other parts of the country we were told to call, this is what we found out. I have to concede it was an aluminum alloy. I was also explained to why we couldn't get that result with the base test we ran with the board and chemicals. The analysis came back, and clued the two experts in with what it is/was. Also this is more common (for what it is, because it can be anywhere he said) laying around that people know, and most of the time it is found on beaches as it is washed up from time to time. People just throw it away because they believe it is trash. This metal is one of three alloys used in the aerospace industry. It was used primarily in the 60s and 70s on parts on satellites and rocket parts. It was used due to it's ability to keep from fracturing, it's ability to withstand corrosion (something about that gave it away to the guy in Alabama that looked at it) and it's strength. It was also used to shield from damaging radiation, but the base metals could absorb it. It had some of these elements that stood out. Aluminum, Chronium, Silver, Maganese, Argon, Iron, Silicone, Phosphorus, Magnesium, some other stuff that probably wasn't relevant. The argon is what was interesting. Basically it was put into the metal (It was explained, and I have what he said in a pdf he sent) along with silicate or something like that, to remove all oxygen that could be in the metal that would let it corrode. I asked if it was a 51 series like an aluminum can. I did ask. He said not likely. They use an enamel coating or something similar to line the inside of the can with so it won't corrode. And the trace elements weren't there that would make him think that is what it was. Plus he said as far as he knew, Silver isn't really used in cans due to it's cost. So we don't know where it came from, it was determined that whatever it was did at one time travel at a very high velocity (something the electron microscope picked up on but I didn't understand it) and it probably under normal circumstances wouldn't be where we found it. At this point, we are going to let it go at that, however there is one more test just for curiosity sake we are doing for the radiation, becuase the metal can not abosorb it from the ground, and after it was sonicated it still had a signature. We are doing that test just out of curiosity. This was kind of cool to do, my 11 year old got to be there and be involved in the testing today, and it was kinda fun. We enjoyed it, and it was cool to figure it out, even if we don't know exactly where it came from or how it got there. To all the people that were interested, I thank you for your interest. If anyone wants more info PM me, and I will try to send you all the stuff that was given me. It can be found on the net, you just have to use the search function he told me to use to find it.
