Looks more like slag, the holes are wrong type for a meteorite, meteorites with holes are usually pallasites where the olivine has deteriorated out due to weathering, leaving a hole.
some shallow impressions which resemble shallow holes occur from the ablation process during reentry, but those on your specimen are too deep and not the right shape.
I could be completely wrong, it is hard to tell by a photo,
cut off a piece and look at the inside, post a pic and then we can better evaluate your find.

Huh

None of the items shown have any visible characteristics of meteorites. They all have visible characteristics of slag.

Time for more coffee.

Thank you for the inspiration Aoolfman. This has reminded me of something i've been wondering about for some time actually and i shall ask the community now! (in a new post)

I afraid I don’t understand what a slag is ,,,, but I still thing these stone are meteorites from the way they look and the metal the contain in them
I broke a piece of them and the metal in it looks like cast iron but shines like nickel
Still the way they are molten tells a story of how they entered our planet atmosphere
I am no meteorites expert but that is what I think for now so far
Eating your feedback

One more thing
Is a slag valuable or is it simply a metallic rock

 

[digger460]

slag

stony waste matter separated from metals during the smelting or refining of ore.

Ok
I got your feedback plus some online information about what slag is
Not disappointed as this is a part of the game
One more question for you guys
Dos slag got any value
As I read something about recycling slag into useful stuff

I would think that gold slag would have value, if such a thing existed, but seriously, I doubt that there is any commercial value in slag.
don’t give up, the best meteorite is still out there waiting to be discovered,

Just for me it's look like a crushed hematite rock.

Though I am not a meteorite hunter but who knows
Maybe someday I’ll come across one of those
Since I already know how they look like it would be easier for me to notice them in future
