Meteorite

Found this detecting today. Going after a super faint high tone flip the plug and iron grunts from this rock. Those magnets only work in those two spots.

Looks like a "meteorwrong" to me. None of us can tell you for sure looking at a photo. Take it to your local college geology department.

Yep guy said based on the pictures and that even a cheap magnet sticks. He believes it is a stony meteorite and it's time to send it in for testing. Score

 

[Terry Soloman]

Was it found in a known fall or strewn field? Good Luck!

Not that I know of just a random find in a open field

 

[Mintberrycrunch]

Pictures after getting it cut what do you think

 

[secondstar]

That would be so cool if it's a meteorite, let us know when you find out!

 

[Mrs. SilverFreak]

Now that would be a unique find! I hope you find out it is indeed a meteorite. Good luck.

I forgot I originally posted this in today’s finds. It’s actually been hard finding someone to verify it’s authenticity they don’t take samples from the public because they get so many. But with the new pictures if it looks legit maybe I can get someone to take interest and be able to send it in. Also the guy that cut it actually made me a pendant for my daughter

 

[Tuberale]

I sort of looks like one. Sent a piece to Portland State University, and they will let you know for sure. That's where I'm sending a piece of the big one.

Other side picture a nice view of a metal slice

 

[unclemac]

google search "meterior identification" a lot of sites will come up to help you.

 

[Inspector]

Good luck with a definite identification, congrats on the find

Sent Some emails today. As recommended on of the university websites said in most cases they tell if it’s legitimate or not from pictures. I should hear back shortly look how freaking cool the polished side looks in better lighting
