Thanks, I was wondering if it could be natural. It was on the property which was a field about 2 years ago...but the stone may have got there from septic system rocks.

The reason asking, where I just moved from some 5 miles away, found a fist sized stone with more smaller holes and a magnet would cling to parts of it, not fall off. The color was different also, a rusty brown. Was looking for that piece today, having moved now, at times can't find things. Also near the one with metal, found what looked like from the same rock but maybe the surface of a meteorite. A black surface along one edge. I thought both were in a box somewhere, hoping they didn't get lost while moving.

All there is to show at the moment is some photos took before after finding them. Since the large chunk had metallic parts, just assumed they were meteorites. Large chunck first, is fist sized. Second the flat piece. Third the black edge visible.
