Hi everybody. I'm new here. I came across this detecting in some woods near my house. I've never found anything like this in my time detecting. Always a penny here or a ton of bottle caps, wherever I searched. So I'm pretty excited. It was about 4-6 inches down and pretty heavily tarnished before I polished it up. It is not magnetic except for a rusty bit attached to it. It has got some weight to it. I want to think it's gold but I'm holding out for other options. I've been reading that brass is magnetic. So I don't think it's that. If it were gold, why would it have some iron attached to it? Do you think it was naturally formed like this? I know for a better answer I need nitric acid, but I'm hoping to get some input. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
