Don't know if this is slag or not.

Is it solid iron you think? I don't think it's a meteorite but if you post a better pic someone can prob help more. Welcome aboard.

As I look at them under a magnifying glass it looks really close like a meteorite but it has tiny little metal rods of some sort. Bummer!!! Lol

Now I really want to see a better pic, does your camera have a macro function? Take a super close-up under good lighting and repost it. The crystals don't help the theory of it being a meteorite but it sounds cool and worth identifying.

Here is a better photo of what I have. Looks like metal rods viewing with magnifying glass. What do you think?

However I did see a meteor (shooting star) where these were found but I'm sure it's still there when I went to look but I came across these. Lol

A good place to see if there have been any strikes in your local. Meteoritical Bulletin: Search the Database

Well, if a magnet don't stick to it... its not a meteorite

@gold007... A magnet does stick.

Cool little better pics still tough to tell what they are, they look quite shiny, magnetic too is good, do they have a side that look burnt? It's called a fusion crust do you see anything like that? Also try posting it in dusted-you's thread "got a rock you need identified post it here" still need better pics tho prob for anyone to help you. Good luck.

What does your detector read when you swing it across these rock objects?

Are they real heavy metorites are heavier than normal rocks.

not all achondrites are magnetic.

Based on the most recent photo, they definitely do not resemble meteorites. Very unlikely.
