It looked a lot like lead or tin, but cut too easy, just like the pewter. So, next I checked the melting point...right there with the other pewter! So, it appears to be filled with, more pewter., maybe a lesser grade, with more lead, do not know.
When my ingots have sat a week or so I'll check the hardness.
