I hope it is a meteorite my friend. Never know. I had a trip planned for dry lake beds in Nevada but it never happened. Maybe some day. I may try to look for objects from space at a dry lake called Groom Lake. I figure I might find something from outer space there.
I want to hope it is one but I know it's not likely. I live near the University of Merced. I may be able to take it in but I know for sure the regular college here has a geology area. The worst that can happen is its just a piece of iron that broke weird. Funny when I first found it I thought it was a hunk of lead because it was so heavy. It is iron bur for whatever reason not heavily corroded like everything gets around here. I've metal detected many years and found a ton of junk iron so just this for me was an oddity so I put it aside.
You did the right thing. If possible, never throw anything away that you do not recognize, at least until you have tried to identify it.
I'm just telling myself it's a hunk of iron so when it is nothing I'm not disappointed lol
I was just told to get it looked at. No one could say conclusive what it was. Some where saying it could be a meteorite others weren't. So I'll just take it in at some point and find out. Doesn't hurt to see. Like I said worse case is it's plain ol iron and life goes on lol.
Ok partner. Good luck.
Some of my coolest finds have been iron.
It was this.
Groom Lake? if that,s what I think is,and you,re detected detecting there,you,ll probably get a look at"inner space"If you catch my meaning.
Well I feel strongly both ways. The second picture looks lot like one. Did anyone give you advise how you could test at home?
I did what I could from home. I need to see if it has nickel content in it. If not it's just a chunk of iron broken off of something man made. I don't want to further mess with it and would rather let a place that knows what they are doing see if there is nickel in it. No nickel in it equals it not being anything.
It is what you think it is. Great place to locate outer space objects I have heard. I am sure the government would not mind you driving on in. Wear an ET Suit and they will not question you.Groom Lake? if that,s what I think is,and you,re detected detecting there,you,ll probably get a look at"inner space"If you catch my meaning.
Suit? We don,t need no stinking suit!
Lol gold is a rarity for me let's see about 15 years of metal detecting I have 2 gold rings, and the gold sorority thing lol so not so impressive. I have a number of silver rings a few silver coins and a few silver dodads.
I think Rudy is still kind of peaved HE did not make starting line up for Notre Dame and only got to play once at end of senior season. But he likes it when you chant, "RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!"
