Strange Metal Ore Anonymous
So, my dad found some strange rocks in a river the other day. Looks like melted metal got poured into water or something. Anyone know ways to identify metal? I can't figure it out. I don't have a picture of it.

If you can't provide a photo, then we can't help, its that simple.

Hold a magnet up to it, see if it sticks.
Also weigh it, then see how much water it displaces. Divide the first by the second and get the density.

yeh will need a picture.. also try scratching it with some stuff like a nail or a peny or a piece of glass. and document what scratches and what doesn't .. and get the density like that other dude said.

with a picture, specific gravity(density) and hardness you can prolly narrow it down by what minerals are in it

Yep, it's wood.

OP here.
I don't have a camera available, in the next few days I'll probably come back and ask again with pictures.

I'll try weighing it soon as well. I was mainly wondering if there are any webpages with information and stuff. Thanks.

Op again, actually, found a camera, just digging out some batteries, hold up for pictures. Also, no scale available. Nail scratches it, we'll try more.

Oh wait, the nail was scraping stuff off, it won't scratch most parts, the nail kindof writes on it. It's a galvanized nail btw.

Strap them to your feet and jump in a lake.

Are/were there any mines around where they were found?

My dad says there was a Manganese mine about 20 miles away from there, but it never got off the ground and failed in the 20's. Also, it was in the Iron Oxide layer. I dunno much about that though. My dad thought it might help.
