I recall when I detected it I thought I had scored a gold nugget, purely on its weight, but when I saw its grey colour, just figured it was lead and threw it in the bag. Here are a few properties: Non magnetic SG around 6 Streak....silver/grey Metallic /greasy lustre Hardness... around 4/5 It was reasonably hard to drill through (the swarthe was flaky/crystalline) and it left a shiny flat after filing. Any ideas on what it may be ? [/QUOTE]
