	aluminum and platnum and silver question « on: February 05, 2011, 11:19:45 am »

I found some melted metals . some i am sure is aluminum the other looks like aluminum but is lighter and registers high tone on my machine how can you identify these 3 metals in melted /nugget /ingot form ? magnets dont attract and they were roughly melted some is heavier .maybe its cast but i thought cast would have more weight . any how dont know what i got

Aluminum Boils most well in a lye type cleaner like oven cleaner or Red Devil Lye.

Not much lighter then Aluminum.

People often throw their soda cans into a campfire creating what many of us refer to as aluminum nuggets. You may have found one.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
