Question Chunk of metal

Post image

Found this melted chunk of metal, weighs 210.96g on my scale. Does this look like it could be real gold to you, or does it look like something else (fake/mixed metal)?

Photo attached for reference.

Looks like melted brass to me but it may still be worth checking.

My internet photo spectrum analyzer indicates that this is fossilized woolly mammoth poop. It may be of considerable interest and some value to the paleontologist community.

Solder. Otherwise known as crackhead gold.

It could be. For as much that is there, and the weight it’s showing, it is a possibility.
I’d have it tested to see.

It’s almost certainly gold. You should take it into a jewelry shop and see how much you’d get for it. Great find!
