[QUOTE="Driscom, post: 580799, member: 19303"] Any ideas on what this might be? Found with a detector in a known gold area. It was about 3 inches in the ground near the top of a large pile of dirt dug from a shaft. I polished the end with a soft buff on a grinder. The original colour was similar to the surrounding ground it was found in and only turned green when I soaked it in vinegar to get the 'soil' off. About 35 long and 30 wide - and weighs in at 52 grams. Showed a pic to a geologist, who wasn't sure, and to an experienced 'detectorist' who suggested it was slag from a ingot pour. Any ideas appreciated. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/19303/1603924299_p1020342.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
