I have a bunch of old farm equipment in my backyard, way back in the woods. It was there when my family moved in, 19 years ago. Now, my question is, what kind of metal is this? It's non-magnetic and doesn't seem to have worn down at all even through all the years it was outside. I'm kind of thinking it may be platinum because the piece looks like a filter. If you need a better picture just leave me a reply, it would be awesome to find out what it was.

Stay Solid.

I don't know how to edit posts, but I'm at the top anyway. I figured I'd add in that my hope of platinum is merely a pipe dream. If anyone has any knowledge about what the metal could be I'm willing to accept it.

Stay Solid.

Plain and simple.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

Hit the exposed strands with a torch. Platinum melts at 3214.9#8201;°F. Aluminum melts at 1220.58 °F. So if its aluminum a good propane torch would tell.

You say it's a filter. My guess is somebody stuffed stainless in there to strain large particles.
