explore Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I was detecting and rock hunting and I found this rock it rusted but weird looking rock I pull out the magnet and it jump on it I took a hand full of finishing nail and staples threw it at the rock and nothing stick to it. I tried to grind it down with a mason grinding wheel and well i need something much stronger to grind it down. the part that I did grind down i look with my eye piece and looks like silver nickel anyways if its not a meteorite this is a wild rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikestang Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Looks like a rock that's been worm smooth by water. I don't see anything in the pix to indicate it is a meteorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
