Morning all, I'd needed please, found on a UK beach, feels metal like. Looks interesting and rather strange. Is it magnetic? Can you scratch it with a nail?

You might look to see what if any mines were located in the area where you found it and see what metals they may have been mining.

maximus Things to check: Is it magnetic? What color is its streak? Take some white unglazed porcelain and drag the stone across it. If it is reddish is could be hematite, black= magnetite, brown= geothite/limonite what is Hardness? check out mohs scale of hardness what is its luster? on a fresh break is it dull or metalic
