nova_foresta 0 Posted Thursday at 04:29 PM Hello All. Would someone be able to help me identify this object please? Found during a walk in the New Forest in S England. No other similar objects nearby. It's clearly metallic, deflects a compass needle, and is strongly attracted to magnets. Density is around 6-8 g/cm3. I suspect it's a just a piece of rusty old man-made iron, but wanted to check with others. I filed a little off one end to expose the shiny metal. Many thanks.

BMc 524 Posted Thursday at 05:04 PM You're right sir. It's a piece of R.M.M.M. (Rusty miscellaneous mystery metal) . . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 2,500 Posted Thursday at 09:27 PM Welcome to the forum! From looking at a map of where you found it I see there is a shoreline, if it was found on a beach it could have come from some type of marine vessel, or shoreline structure, if more inland then it could be anything but also could be a bit from military action during WWII.

nova_foresta 0 Posted Friday at 06:32 AM (edited) Many thanks for your replies. It was found about 10 miles inland. There appear to be some small crystalline objects embedded in it, and a larger red/brown crystalline substance visible on one side (bottom of second photo).
