The article starts out claiming the object is 250,000 years old and winds up with it being possibly as recent as 800 years old. So if we're going to go with wild variations on the object's age, maybe we should also introduce the idea that aluminum may have been around in ancient times and is something that was rediscovered as opposed to a strictly modern material. Some historians think that the following passage may refer to the creation of an early aluminum artifact:

“Once a certain Roman jeweler was allowed to show the Emperor Tiberius
a chalice made of a new metal. The chalice was remarkable for its unusually
light weight, and it shone just as brightly as silver. The goldsmith told
the emperor that he made this metal from ordinary clay. He also assured
the ruler that the means of obtaining this metal from clay was known only
to him and the gods. The emperor was intrigued by the craftsman’s words,
and the financial side of the matter did not concern him much. But soon
he was struck by the thought that if people master the production of this
bright metal from ordinary clay, all the stores of gold and silver in his
treasure trove would instantly become worthless. Therefore, instead of the
expected reward, the craftsman lost his head.”

Sure. That theory sounds more plausible than a piece of 250,000 year old moulded aluminum from an alien spaceship . Every time I've looked into an OOPART claim, they've never had enough going for them to take them seriously. Maybe Pliny's story is just myth. I don't know. What other mundane explanations might there be? Here's another one:Hi Randal, I think this is more of an allegory than something that actually happened.
The main reason I say this is because if the Emperor Tiberius killed the jeweler to keep his new secret metal secret, why would he go to the trouble of recording the remotest hint about its raw material i.e "clay".
He could of just said he annoyed me and that would be more than enough to have him executed.
My understanding is that Pliny the elder described the Emperor Tiberius as "the gloomiest of men", and I think this piece of text is an attempt to convey what Pliny felt abut Tiberius's character, using the "metal" in an imagined scenario.

Ya, I remember being fascinated with WWII aircraft back in elementary school after reading a book called God Is My Copilot about a pilot with the Flying Tigers ion Burma, which was made into a WB movie:I thought I read some historian identified it as a piece of a Messerschmitt. Which is pretty cool. I've always thought the 262's were awesome.

I'd like to own a factory producing aluminum excavator teeth, provided someone had contracted to buy them. Kind of like making knives out of paper. Anyway, that looks like a forging from the last several decades. I didn't see any comparisons between the percentages of metals in the alloy and modern alloys. It should be pretty easy to nail down.
Would a buried piece of aluminum last more than a few centuries, anyway. I think not and as usual there is very little in the way or real information.
OMG that's exactly what it is. It matches perfectly.This guy thinks it's the tooth from an excavator bucket.

It would probably depend on what you were digging into. Softer soils and marshland would be just fine for aluminum. The same blog I posted a link to says that aluminum was often used where there could be risk of fire or explosion, such as in mines. I'm not sure I care about this enough to explore further.
