You be the judge of this one.  This was found at the bottom of a stream during a kayak trip.  It closely resembles a mans member.  I have no proof of the type of metal but it does not rust and was very shiny when found.  It has been cleaned a little.  I have people guess it is aluminum, but it seems too heavy to be that.  I think it is silver, possibly something that was melted down.  Could it be titanium?  I have to believe it is fairly old though. Take a look and tell me what you all think.

WOW! What a find. How big and heavy is it? It could be a few things. You say it's to heavy to be aluminum, then its def not titanium, which wouldn't appear like that in nature. If it is soft , heavy, and melts with a lighter it's lead. If the silver stuff starts to smoke don't breath it in. It may be gold covered in mercury, but I doubt it. If so it's one luck find. It may also be platinum, but nuggets are rare, and one that size would be priceless. Probably silver, and a beautiful specimen if so. There are also radioactive heavy metals so be aware of that. What are the size and weight?

It is not in it's natural state. If it were silver it would have been tarnished when you found it. If it is white metal, used for toys and costume jewelry, it should melt pretty easy but it does look like aluminum. A chunck of gold that covered with mercury would be very heavy and the mercury would come off on your hands.

Could be a meteorite that the mineral decayed away from.  It has that burn flow look that metallic meteorites have.  Well, even the stone ones have it.

Hey Gunther, pretty sure he was made of tin.  Look at this though.  It is a nickle iron meterorite

Meteorites are cool, the rare ones can be worth more than gold per gram.

Mine doesn't look like that at all.  I think a trip to the doctor is in order.

Perhaps the answer lies in exactly WHERE you found it.. was it at a place where humans could have produced such industrial by-product, or could Ma nature have formed it?

I found several nickle iron meterorites out in my back feilds while plowing back when I used to grow vegies for sale. There is supposed to be a meterorite for evey four square feet. At least thats what they said on the science channel. Some body must of stole some of mine cause I short a few thousand.

Hey Just Dig It,
If that is the tin mans junk consider how he might feel with people talking about shaving a flake off…  Have a ‘heart’ will ya! 
Cap they are pretty pricy considering there are so many.  Very cool to have found one though…  Do you have pics?  I found something I think might be one last summer but it is small and stone not metal. 
Steven

If you count the micrometeorites which are constantly falling that number could be correct.

You can use fairly simple science if you really want to determine what the metal is.
All you have to do is determine the specific gravity of it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_gravity

You basically just put it in a container of water and then measure how much water it displaces then weigh it. You are just comparing the weight of the object to  the weight of its equivalent volume of water.

I expect you will get a value very close to 2.7

So Gunther you are saying 2.7 is the specific gravity of tin???
