Wonder what this is?
April 29, 2015 01:15AM
Found it the other day at the burned down house where the piggy bank was. Comes in at 95 on Racer and Core and 10-43 on the CTX. Pretty heavy too but not lead. Melted down in the fire. I have a hinkling it's silver IDK though. Definately not aluminum, heavy for it's size.

My guess would be melted die-cast since you said it is heavy and rings up good.

Might of come out of the privy-hole or is that blue lead, excuse me, going to wash my hands? Got a shoe-box full of it, all different shapes sizes and weights some look like nuggets, one piece looks like wire wool, for some reason like digging it & call it all camp~lead! Lol

Just another piece of junk as fires build up a lot of heat and God knows what it was originally...

I dig a lot of it in sites where buildings/barns were burned down. It normally always has that white/cream crusted stuff on it like yours does at the bottom. I've not found any solution to IDing it before being dug. It sounds good on any machine I've tried.
