Looking through my jars of detector finds I come across this unknown metal I found about 2 years ago near Mt Morgan in Qld.
Is this Zinc? I found this next to some old 1900 gold diggings, maybe a melted zinc battery or float from gold refining.
It is as heavy as lead but very hard unlike lead, it has not tarnished in 2 years so it is not silver. Pitted on one side and smooth on the other.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
