Metal piece found shaped like a man's *****

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.

NOW it looks like said member[].... maybe silver..

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.

Did you find that any where near OZ? I’ll bet the tin man has been going nuts looking for that!

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.

Looks like aluminum. Solid aluminum isnt all that light.

 

[mrbottles]

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.[]
