Sure thing, it's real simple - the only thing that makes it look good is the
reflections and lighting, so you might want to play around to get the
effect right in a different scene.  The exponent in the reflection block is
really the only thing different from a bog-standard reflecting plane.

plane {
  y,0
  texture {
    pigment {
      checker
      color rgb 1
      color rgb z*0.4
    }
    finish {
      specular 0.6
      roughness 0.01
      diffuse 0.5
      reflection {
        0.2,0.5
        exponent 0.75
      }
    }
    normal {
      granite 0.02
      scale 0.1
    }
  }
}

Incidentally, it's probably pretty obvious what I was thinking of modelling
when I posted four balls in a row!  So I've attached a render of the (very
little) work I've done on it so far.  Nothing fancy, but you can see the
metallic texture looking OK somewhat more in situ.
