Sorry but pretty sure this is a piece of slag. What were the find details? Have you tested for nickel?

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.
