Do some googling to see what wheel weigh alloys are composed of.
Do a rough density check - stick your ingot in a jug & work out its
volume (or measure?) weigh it down the post office. That might give you
an idea if is close to the density of Zn.
The bullet makers here will know what its made from.



The biggest ingot weighs 14 ounces and other zinc ingots of the EXACT same
size weigh 10 ounces.
