nova_foresta 0 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMc 1,048 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 You're right sir. It's a piece of R.M.M.M. (Rusty miscellaneous mystery metal) . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 3,191 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 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 May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 (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).
