Uknown Rock Found In A Field

I found this in one of my fields about a couple of months back.  I stuck to the idea that it was a meteorite.  I took it to my science teacher and she doesn't even know what it is.  I hope that someone on here could shed some light.  Thank you.

My metal detector picked it up and I found it three inches under the ground.  It is also attracted to a magnet.  The pictures may not be good enough quality but it is the best I could muster with what I had.

Your guess is probably better than mine.  Though, I do recall a meteorite falling some years back and landed in a nearby town.  I'm guessing that it isn't of much value though.  The closes water source is a small creek about half a mile north of where I found it.  And by that source I'm taking a guess that it made its way there a while back then.  Thanks for the info.

As far as nearest water source you are thinking about now but this would have been moved 15,000 plus years ago.  Stream beds have changed greatly since the end of the last ice age

I believe that is a close resemblance.  I think that the majority of its content is composed of iron, by the looks of it.  I tried to clean it the best I could, but there is some dirt that still clings onto it.  There is also some points on it that have a very glamorous surface on it, or looks glassy with great luster.  That is just a small portion of it though.  I can see spots of copper on it, but otherwise I'd say iron most of the way.  Formation compares with the pic you have put up, but my rock seems to have a lot more holes and craters in it.  It is also heavy for as small as it is.
