JJT3 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hi Guys, I find a fair amount of these rocks/conceptions in one of the streams I hunt in. They are very dense and appear as if they are melted. I took some home and found they are magnetic. Any name for these? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hi, i agree it is iron. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

JJT3 Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Maybe just iron slag that was dumped in the stream a long time ago? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Maybe over pour from a foundry casting. Saw this material in a dump in piles of used casting sand. It would rust though I'd think so slag is a better guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I agree. BTW "magnetic" means it will attract certain metals (a magnet is magnetic) not that it is attracted to a magnet. I assume you meant the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
