Ok its a highly conductive metal? 94 on my VDI numbers on my metal detector.Which is silver?Could it be tin or a large peice of lead that tricks my detector to read a higher vdi number.Thats on a stock setting,not much sensativety?It seems hard but not that hard,put it too the bench grinder,easily took off a corner.

It looks like slag (left over from smelting)  Possible it could be broze or brass?

Possibly melted aluminum.. for example, a can melted in a campfire

Yeah I think its aluminium.Too big to be a can.Not sure what it was.

Where was it found?
Does it feel heavy for it's size?
Whats the hardness? (refer to Moh's scale)

I found some of that stuff in Lethbridge and hit it with a torch and it is lead there is tonnes of it down in the area.
I was talking to a old timer and he was showing me and pointing to where the coal mines are this is #1 coal mine
and that is where I found it.
