Now I've seen it all, aluminum so corroded its rusted!! I don't think its worth anything even as scrap metal, let alone a core.

Looks to me like there was water standing where it was laying.
The rusty water is what stained the aluminum.

We have a lot of both sulphur water and iron water here.
I am working on a building right now that has rust stained concrete blocks in the foundation from all the iron in the ground water.

Yes, I figured it was face down in the bottom of a steel bucket or something. I work with aluminum a lot, and it can stain easily, especially the cheaper cast alloys, and "pot metals".
