I'm good with iron meteorite IDs. See my write up of the Pulse Star detector, there's a good pic of a iron meteorite there.

Back to your iron rock. Is it iron? Does a magnet stick to it with hell-like fury? Also, the pic was a good idea, but its rotten. Please post a better picture, and I can tell you alot more.

Also, the iron should have no sharp 90 degree angles.

Forget the ID on your metal detector. Its too questionable. What we need is a good pic of the iron and if possible, a small corner the size of a nut that you hacksaw off.

When taking the pic, make sure you get a close up using the MACRO setting on your camera. The MACRO setting should have an icon of a flower.

If its an iron meteorite, expect about $50-$100/pound.
