Hi bigfoot and welcome!
 At first glance it looks like slag, do you live near railroad tracks? Really hard to narrow it down without more specifics. Is it relatively heavy or light for its size? Is it magnetic? -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |
