    Any idea what this is, found it while cleaning out a house, I am thinking it might be lead or pewter, but I have no idea, any way I can tell or any at home test, it certainly doesn't ping, too bad, but I would still like to identify it, Thank you!

      Lead is the softest. That chunk taken out might indicate that.
      Here is a lead bar

      Thank you, that mark, which looks like a martini glass, almost looks like something was pressed into the mark to leave it, or maybe it was crudely melted down and made. I know it scratches pretty easy, using a fingernail, so I think you might be right. Great, now I'm getting lead poisoning as we speak.

      This looks like what my father would use to make lead soldiers. He had hunks of something similar with various "melted or cut pieces" in a big wooden box. He also made bullets for muzzle loaders and that also had a similar look.
      Don't know if that helps but if it is lead, don't eat it :)

      Thanks Amber...you both are probably right, though I'd be lying if I didn't say I was at least hoping it was pewter...instead of a hunk of lead...;)
