Any one on hear do meteorite testing?

Hi i have had this little rock for a couple of years now and i am struggling to get it tested to see if its a wrongun or a rightun . Nowere does testing in uk . Nhm wont test it till it been tested for nickle ?? Dont get that bit ? So i am going to get it done myself . I have had a thread about it on hear a couple of years ago and nobody seem to know what it is . Its mildly magnetic Found in a field with a detector Density 7.4 237 grams Crust with bright shiny metal 50mm×30mm

regarding the found dutchmans post , I have taken this to our local museum but nobody was available to have a look at it , so I went up to the fossils an dinasaurs level an showed it to the staff guy, he says its not his field (meteorites), so he takes a look under the microscope anyway an says -wow are you thinking what im thinking- meteorite, he called a college over an she was just as puzzled saying she didn't no either guessing it was copper, slag, so on then she says it could be a nugget of platinum ,LOL . to go back over the museum is a boat ride an a day out so I don't get much time . w

just chipped it crushed it , easer than I thought , it just crushed into a pile of bright silvery powder and left NO coulors what so ever , I have never seen a stone crush into a pile of metal flakes like that before , made a weird sound as I crushed it , but might of been what I crushed it on ??

ok , do I just smash it , crush to a fine power an then rub on white wrighting paper ?? and what should I be looking for ?

I was 50 \ 50 , but hear are some more pics , these are close ups of different parts of the stone?

these are mobile pics I will upload sum digital cam 1s tomorrow
