the entire thing is METAL of course I hit it with a hammer.. it goes " BONG " it has a thin plaster coating on the outside of it like I said.. its not magnetic so I thought I would ask if you guys could tell me what kind of metal it might be.....

Hehehe! It looks like it could be plastic. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Sure looks allot like "manganese". Your description also sounds like manganese.It is non-magnetic is often mistaken for stone or concrete.But its hard to say for sure from the picture.But my money is on manganese

it resembles a sink...I tyhink it is a zinc lined sink basin. Made of wood or stone and wrapped with zinc. Are we taking bets yet?

It's concrete. Look at the chip on the bottom in the last picture.
