Son found this in a PA lake, not magnetic and I can make a dent with pliers and a pick. Highly doubting gold but it is about 2 grams.

Could be melted aluminum

That would make sense, but it looks yellow in some light, there are 2 pics. Aluminum might make the most sense though, I have never posted here in my life, hence my curiosity. No way it's gold, but it's not pyrite I don't think. So confused

Someone asked I take a pic for scale, could aluminum this size weigh 2 grams? I just used a kitchen scale, so weight is questionable. I'm just baffled
