=================================================================
I found this ( metalunknown in the drop box) about a mile from Timet 
(a place that makes titanium).  Its 3.75" Dia. X 3", looks like a test
ingot.  Looks like it was pressed hot, the ends are bumpy and the
sides bulged and smooth.  I tried turning it, but it cut about the
same amount off the carbide tool .  I've had it for years and bugs me
what it is, and I don't need a door stop.  Plus there is all kinds of
Gov't things around here, so it could glow in the dark as far as I
know.  That's another thing, is exposed lead radioactive? I often
wonder at things I find, like rail road spikes that are 1/3rd of what
they where and pitted badly.  Who know's what has been leaking out of
rail road cars.  They may dig up leaking gas stations, but I bet they
never test around the tracks.
