I am trying this again to make all the pics the right size. I found all these in a friends outdoor rock collection. He was a rock hound for a long time. I found these with my rare earth magnet. They are all heavy and the magnet sticks strongly to all of them. First 3 pics are of same piece and 2nd 3 pics are the second one I found that day. Last 2 pics are the ones I found the following day. When I sweep them with the mxt I get a change in threshold. When I center on them it overloads the system and in prospecting mode I get a 50% iron indication. My friend was into agates mostly so he didn't know what they were. I only know he found them in the Mojave Desert area about 20 or 30 years ago. He doesn't remember to many things these days as he is 80. Does anyone know anywhere local to So. Calif. to get them checked for iron and nickel?
Thanks for looking,
Rob

Yikes!! If I had that here, I would call it a 'Spirit Stone".

Not only do I see your little "alien face", I can see another face and at least 3 animals.
Talk about big Medicine!!!

You are right Eagle I actually saw an eagle on the left one...how cool is that. I never looked at them like that. They are some cool rocks even if they don't turn out to be meteorites. I am going to try and get them tested at UCR if I can get a hold of someone there. Not sure if it was the angle of the camera that made it appear like that, but cool none the less. Take care Eagle.
