Hi I have 2 items I would appreciate any help to help me ID these items
the first is a hope is a 2.6grammer found with my SDC2300 , problem is it looks like it is incrusted with iron oxide or something , it is non magnetic , I tried to clean it overnight in white vinegar and salt , but does not seem to be able to remove the over crust, I have a small die grinder with a carbide burr on it and is seems to show a gold color beneath surface , which leaves me to 2 conclusions it is either gold , or brass, never found brass in this form before ! , the other piece looks like a little meteorite , a little smaller than a 20c piece , looks like molten metal , quite light in size , found about 300mm deep in the ground strange piece
