I also remember you saying you scraped it with a knife and broke a pea sized piece off the tip with pliers. . You never admitted to using a grinder but I dont see how it could be rust free found in a lake.

Its similar to the drift posted by Ammon. The drift posted by SBB was a wider closer match and the tool is used to forge the tapering hole or eye in a pickaxe. SBB also found a pickaxe with the exact shape. I cant find the pic SBB found but the drift is used in this manner. Tapering handle hole with drift « Gulf Coast Blacksmith Association

I posted on the meteorite forum to ask Terry to please explain his comment because I dont know why he said it. Everyone else told you no, it is not a meteorite. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/meteorites/294437-meteorite-projectil.html I dont understand why anyone would make a wedge size tool or weight from a meteorite and if they did, it would no longer have the dimples or so called regmaglypts because they would be hammered or grinded away.


I have a few questions.

Will a magnet stick?

How deep was the water you found it in?

Was it at the boat dock, swimming hole, fishing hole or what?

Was in under the muck?.

What detector did you use?

What was the exact date of the find and why did you choose Bantam Lake?

Thanks


BTW I doubt its related to the April 10, 2012 UFO incident at Bantam Lake because I think you posted it here earlier. (not sure)

yes a magnet sticks to it., it was not in the water i said i found it at bantam lake but not in the water, i was using a bounty hunter quick silver, im not sure of the exact date i found it, never wrote it down or payed attention.I chose bantam lake beacause that is where i found it........plus i was treasure hunting what i was looking for was coins, jewerlry, e.c.t and i didnt expect to find that.......

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I chose bantam lake beacause that is where i found it ......

The question was why did you choose (to hunt) Bantam Lake? Were you aware of the UFO sighting? It must have been all over the news. http://www.nhregister.com/articles/2012/04/17/news/doc4f8e020ebda8b113730222.txt?viewmode=fullstory

And why did you mislead us by saying you found it in Torrington?

I apologize for all the questions but its SOP on this forum.

i was unaware of the ufo sighting of bantam lake and that is the truth, and when i saw that video i thought you were playing a joke on me and then i googled it and i saw the reports!!!i had no clue i dont follow the news.....i told you that i lied about finding it in torrington beacause i wanted to search more and i thought what i had found was unusual and i did not want to blow up the spot where i had found it...seeing that video makes me wonder about the item in question...

Diaz the link I just posted will help you. It says:

Ruben Garcia, who was contacted by Mr. LaBonne and is also known as “Mr. Meteorite,” said in a phone interview Tuesday that typically meteorites are non-toxic, and that the impact on the lake depends on the size of the object.

“I have been hunting meteorites for 15 years. I cut them, they are not toxic,” said Mr. Garcia.

Mr. Garcia is your man. Send him an email and ask him his professional opinion. The members here should be able to come up with a contact addy.

Make sure you tell him the truth.

OK I was just wondering why you tried to keep something a secret that was all over the news.

 

[DIAZ]

but like i said my joining date and the date that happened is kinda crazy, but like i said i had no clue about the ufo incident, and i did find it at bantam lake, and there is no need to apologize bch everyone has their right to ask questions and leave there opinions on this thread and all are welcome to do it.....

 

[DIAZ]

OK I was just wondering why you tried to keep something a secret that was all over the news.

beacause i did not know it was all over the news ....if you found a gold coin are you going to give your spot up or go back and look for more?i kept it a secret beacause i thought i would find something else besides the item in question but i didnt so i just told the truth of where i had actually found it...

I understand what you are saying. It just doesnt look like anything special to want to keep it a secret. But we are only looking at a picture and you seem to think its special so here is the contact information for Mr. Meteorite. Click on "CONTACT ME" and ask him to join the discussion or send him some pics with the story of where and when you found it. Home - Mr Meteorite 2013

It's a lure. I find old school lures, worn out exactly like that all the time. Your item is about the size of a cell phone correct?
