what the hell is this piece of metal
zglobulio:
Wierd metal i found that whenever i touch it, it makes me itchy, i found its not magnetic and it seems too heavy for its size, ive attached some pictures so if you could find out what this is it would help me a LOT because i either want to sell it or just throw it out because i dont want to be itchy.
zglobulio:
Just wanted to say, there are some scratch marks on the right side of the paper because i scratched it with this metal to see if it would leave a mark, it did. (like a pencil that you can barely see)

Probably it is lead. But only with picture cannot tell anything. Maybe you can get the volume of that piece and also the weight. Then you can calculate the specific gravity and check in a table.
Orif you have the possibilities to get analysis. XRF would be one method. Or dissolve in acid and get ICP or AAS.
zglobulio:
the size, i will get the weight in a second
zglobulio:
one more size
