Bounty Hunter does see this, why?

This things is heavy, hard, doesn't scratch with my knife and isn't magnetic. Given to me. Thought was slag of some type but doesn't register on my metal detector.

Anyone have a reason, feels like metal, doesn't chip like rock.

It's hard enough and heavy for it's size.
I just don't get why the detecter is detecting it, I have another rock the minerals cause a ping, I am so confused.

What does your piece read as on your detector? Iron? Nickel? This is what I found doing some googling...:

"For more research, you may wish to look into the life and discoveries of a pioneer meteoriticist, H. H. Nininger. One of his books, 'Find A Falling Star', is a semi-biographical work with fascinating accounts of meteorite finds and falls in the early to mid-20th century. Composition? Iron, Nickel, Olivine-fairly easy to find with a metal detector. Clear skies!"

I hope is really is a meteor! They can be very valuable! May be worth getting checked out by a geologist!!! Kept me informed, as you have me. Curious! Good Luck

Iron is the most common element on Earth based on mass. It's even in your blood. There are LOTS of iron bearing rocks and matrixes that a detector will pick up. Magnetite, hematite, goethite, etc.

Yours could be taconite - which is non-magnetic.

Where do I find one of these guy's?
Thanks for the info I have been reading until going blind, I found one pic that looks like it, if it were a match it's from Mars, my guess is { Hematite } it's interesting
stuff.
