I found this in a park in Darwin City. Its heavy like lead but not heavy enough to be all lead.
I broke it in half to reveal a crystal like composition.
I ground one side and it went shiny like aluminium.
I heated it with map gas and lead drops exuded from it.
My guess is a WW2 bomb that exploded and amalgamated the lead and aluminium components together to form this weird metallic blob.
