First I will apologize for the picture I am using a phone temporarily. I found this at my local park it was about 4 inches and gave an extremely strong signal. I was sure it was large deep iron or a can. I don't have a pin pointer and was very confused as to where this signal was coming from. I finally tried the pile of "rocks" I had thrown to the side for a hot rock. there it was a brown rock with a killer signal. I noticed it was Really heavy, too heavy for a normal rock. I scraped the brown coloring off of it and it was a pewter grey in color. I dug into it with my screw driver an it is bright and shiny inside like stainless steel.
A few day later I took it to my local Metal detector shop and asked the owner what he thought it was. He thought it was silver and scraped it and did a chemical test. It was negative for silver. It also does not respond to a magnet at all, and is not lead it is very hard. It also appears to have been formed in a molten way. any guesses... the shop. owner also said he had no idea what it is.
Sorry the pictures are even fuzzier than I thought
