[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 652522, member: 4386"] Good go see someone trying to determine properties. Note that SG only works with pure mineral fragments and I can see at least three different things in your samples. Best to break off tiny bits of single substances and determine properties on them (also overcomes the limitation of weight for the scales). My guess is that some others here are correct - that it is something like bits of slate that are held together by molten lead melted in a fire. Are you in a gold-mining area? Perhaps people have been throwing rubbish down the shaft and an old battery got left near the collar. Just guessing.... [/QUOTE]
