[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 113363, member: 2152"] I'm going to throw in my two specks worth and call it a zinc or zinc bronze alloy perhaps. It would explain the shine, the grain, the shape, the shine and higher reading. What sort of flame did you use? Chuck a grinder on it and tell me how or if it sparks and I'll put you in the ball park. These pesky non discript metals usually don't need too much to decipher. Spark test is the quick way home. The fact it was so close to civilisation I'm guessing it's not too exotic. [/QUOTE]
