Hi Guys

Detecting in Belgium and am getting this kind of stone, it has a high content of iron in it because it sticks to my magnet but the strange thing about it is when on the ground I get a very good signal but if I hold it in my hand the signal is week, I don't have this with other objects, so what is this stuff? the photo here is of a small stone but I have come across some rather big ones and at first I had thought that I'd found a meteorite.

Yes there is a railway but there is no way that it could have come in this area. I would guess that the railway is 3 Km as the crow fly's

Well is it light weight because if it is, It might be Coke which is a smokeless version of coal that was used a lot during the 60s and 70s and people use to put it down on paths for grip on Paths and roads Once it had been burnt etc,

No I'd say that it's quite heavy.
