Hi Linton, I'm not an expert, and the pictures are small as you said, but I would agree with you that it's just a big chunk of slag.

His grandfather found the 'rock', but apparently no testing or analysis was ever done. To me, it looks like some kind of manmade material, slag perhaps. But the photos don't blow up and I can't discern any detail. Would anyone care to share an opinion? I'd appreciate it.
