Yes , got my nickel test . I couldnt post anything on forum ,some error kept appearing . This video is of the secound thing ive tested . Its tested positive for nickel . The first of my piece ,the big one also tests positive but only in particular spots where i made the cut into it . I really have to rub this around to get possitive nickel test .
Hi...try posting the video to you tube and putting a url link here to the video.
Interesting that you think it has nickel, although many man made metals in industry may have some added.
Next step would be to get a small end cut or one small flat area polished and try etching that area to see if a widmanstatten pattern appears....videos on you tube showing how to do that...safest way is with ferric chloride.
