 Detecting Can anyone help me identify the 2 rocks I have found.  They are heavy and black and have not been able to cut them. I will send a photo of them on next posting.  Can some tell me how to upload to this web site.  The stones I have look like metorites according to metorite descriptions.  GOD BLESS all.

Hi cerayc and welcome.  I'd like to see them. Sue

To upload a picture: When you begin a post or reply to one, down below the text box is Attachments. Click on 'Choose file', select the picture on your computer, it will appear next to the 'Choose file' then and all that's left to do is click on Post when you are ready to submit.  Note the maximum size allowed and the file types.

Looking forward to the photos - I find meteorites pretty darn cool and over the years have collected quite few. Try a hanging magnet test as a quick check. A good magnet will stick to most meteorites - even stoney varieties have enough iron to get a reaction. A strong magnet hung on a thread and moved towards the sample will either stick right to it or try to. Thats why the thread. You could just try to stick a magnet to it but the weaker iron content meteorites may not have enough iron to hold the magnet. The magnet on a thread will swing over and try to stick and you can see the reaction easier. Just a more sensitive test.

Ysually the outside has a  shiny coating or crusty finish, and most Iron meteorites will stick to a magnet, need a pic or 2.

Carbon based meteorites are not magnetic and are much more valuable. There are also a few rocks that have magnetic attributes that are not meteorites. I would like to find a few myself. I have found rocks in my past that looked like them possibly but never kept them. Knowing their value now, I would keep anything that resembles one.


Here is a site that may help identification
