What did I just pick up
 
Went for a walk at lunch and kicked a cigarette lighter sized chunk of something heavy. Picked it up and it feels like lead. Had a tag screwed into it.

Any idea what it is?

Not based on your description alone...

Forgot to post a pic

Put it in some water and calculate the density.

What does the tag say?

chunk of Uranium

Some of the 'road-hugging-weight' from a Ford Pinto, probably.

Sounds too heavy to be dog poop. That's unless the dog had been eating lead.

Another thought. Was it gold colored.

A golf club tungsten hosel weight.

It's a chunk of something heavy, like lead, with a tag screwed onto it, about the size of a cigarette lighter.

Post a pic. If it's blurry get away from it ASAP.

Based on the vague description and lack of picture, it is definitely a whachamacallit or, chuckofstuff. :rolleyes:

Sounds to me like a dog swallowed a piece of lead the size of a lighter. And you found the result.

Oh no, throw it in the neighbor's yard. Call the cops

True story: I just got a letter from the Department of Health on syphilis trends and a shortage of Penicillin G benzathine (Bicillin L-AŽ)

I'm glad you picked up something else... :D

When he says lighter shaped, I think zippo...but maybe he thinks Bic?

MBAtarga 07-24-2024 06:56 PM

Did it look like this?

Window sash weight?

red 928 07-25-2024 12:27 AM

It's leverite.

s_morrison57 07-25-2024 03:41 AM

it sure is Leverite, not to be confused with Dicite, that is collectable but Leverite isn't, leverite where you found it.
