I felt both your hearts sink when you got the grinder on it. It's ok meteorite or not you learnt something and had fun, even some excitement for a little while.
Look up the chemical dimethylglyoxime. I ordered some and you just rub a swab on the suspected meteorite and if it contains nickel it turns pink. If the rock passes the color test and is magnetic it is worth sending to a lab for testing, which costs about $30. Edit: Jewelery test kits for nickel content are an economical way to achieve the same results.
There are lots of black rocks on the railroad track that come from India and there are lots of man-made rocks making them stronger! They usually are all black having two square ends ballast! And I find some on the road that look like that but they come out from the tracks! They can be very magnetic coming out of my mine
I have one that’s almost completely non magnetic (it does attract a magnet super heavily at certain points others not) even though it’s not that big or super metallic it at least weights a pound or a more give or take. They are heavy period mostly metallic or not and they don’t usually produce streaks.
It's ore... the line you metal detected on use.to be a through route Cincy to Chicago. It was moved on this line til 1976 roughly...when traffic shifted. Just fyi. (I live by Muncie and worked for the railroad)
Really enjoyed how refreshing you guys are. Straight to the point and logical re: process of steps/deduction & elimination. So delightfully sans-waffle :) I'm off to Dremel a 'window' in a similarly enigmatic specimen!
Meteorite?.. Meteorwrong!.. Lol.. I'm no expert in meteorites, but where I detect we have a couple of thousands of years metalworking history and I know the odds are that its some sort of ore.. Some types can be a pain in the ass but ore fits into the 'hot rocks, slag and coke' bracket as far as I'm concerned :-) Good informative vid
Yea, it would have been super awesome if it really was one! Thanks for the new gloves! It will be nice to use those next time. That was a nice suprise. :D
You can get some further testing done by the University Extension people. Call the University and they'll give you the number. It's always fun but it looks like you've got something man made. Good for you for fact checking. We need more of that.
Great video, I found a piece of slag I thought was a meteorite I worked on it for hours finally ground it down to reveal a washer! LOL Thank you for the video!
... I thought seeing it that it was definitely going to be a Meteorite! But it's good to see objective testing/experiments settling the question. Many people don't bother and just prefer to kid themselves without knowing for sure!!
Was thinking you needed to wet the part that you sanded down . Rock dust .Would have gotten a better look at what's inside. I hope you kept that rock . Interesting!
It can be a stone meteorite.... And you have to saw cut it in half... And high polish it... You will see a strange melecular patterns... It's of my opinion that you probably got some debri from the rail road cars hauling off factory smelting debris... But absolutely there are stone meteorites tho...
Hey Anychance you could tell me if I have meteorites or meteorwrongs? I have a bunch of stones I collected, I seen a fireball go out above my house I heard the sonic boom as well after mapping out a 25km radius I found a couple rocks that look like pallasite meteorites but I don't want to take them to the university here I've been waiting 2 months for some I already have taken in and after doing research on how much meteorites are worth I don't want to take these in
Thanks for showing all the different tests. Too bad it wasn't a meteorite. I received your family picture/ appreciation in the mail. I was so surprised :) Thank you!!! I loved the picture.
If mine streak black, then they are meteorites. Some do not streak black, but almost all do. See Meteorite Men on utube. . I think you have a meteorite. . The metal inside is not black. Only the crust on some are black. Topherspin is a site that sells, but the education on meteorites is free. Wish you luck and keep hunting....
if it was found on or near a railroad track no I have found rocks like that it is not very magnetic but it is silver looking on the inside earth material have many meteorites but think if it barely sticks to a magnet it is not going to have enough iron to set off a metal detector
Always in Hance by using a acid to bring out pattern ...it could be a new discovery ..by looking at it I feel you should get it tested by professional ..find a college that do earth science go from there....good luck u guys
let your kid paint it !, put googy eyes in it and WAAALAA!! alien paper weight !! mu wife does lots of arts and crafts stuff with our two children , Hey good luck in your future hunts guys !
Wow. Hey you been reading it wrong, It's a real meteorite. Who said it brown streak? congrats you found yourself a meteorite, now to prove more cut the rock half and see what the color inside, if it match the outside color, it's not, you have founded a Achondrite Meteorite. And if I was not wrong, I actually own a similar one like that but smaller size. For the Window test the girl is actually wrong. So congrats!
Good to see you did your homework, this is the link I use to tell whether you have a meteor or not. You may have seen it..? GL&HH www.meteoritemarket.com/metid1.htm
Why's that? I ask because I've got a whole bunch of black rocks different types that stick to that same magnet. Some stick very well others not so good
Not mater for is it meteorit or not .Cosmic stone is it any way. Same stone not eksist enyvere. You can giv for this name and prise. If enyone like to bay it it is you busines any way. Example if you wont to shell eny Earth stone anave planet or galactic this hase supper high prise. Think how mach cost cosmik flght?

I'd take it to a university and have it inspected. Pretty sure that's a meteorite.
I have a lunar meteorite chondrite with aquamarine
Muito bom
very cool ether way .sorry it failed the test but hey keep looking .

"meteor-wrong" LOL!!!! Ashley has jokes!
It looks like a dalek egg from the Dr. Who series! I was hoping it was one! That would be a find of a lifetime!
Yea, it would have been super awesome if it really was one! Thanks for the new gloves! It will be nice to use those next time. That was a nice suprise. :D
Glad you like them. Don't let anyone try and tell you it's not a fashion show out there! LOL! Have a nice weekend, Martin.

might be platnium found a black rock like this one in size but was way heaver 800 g -hot find
Awww Doug you smashed your finger nail.
In some areas of country ,they could be what some call hot rocks which emits MD signals
Unlucky, but it made good viewing.
Was thinking you needed to wet the part that you sanded down . Rock dust .Would have gotten a better look at what's inside. I hope you kept that rock . Interesting!
Not to mention they have to do an acid etching test
It looks like a meteorite to me! If you cut it in half and apply acid you will get a Witterstrand pattern. I think that's how it's spelt? Google it!
I'm a collector I said the same thing. ..I see a falling star...I believe they have something special
Witwatersrand maybe!?
WAAAH! you hit your finger with a hammer! nooo :(

Meteorite, sure looks like one, I have a 1/2 dozen, I would buy it from you.
I have a rare meteorite with aquamarine

You're welcome! And thank you! :)
thanks brother and sister.
Hai i am form kerala south india, thank you for your vital information, i also wish to start rock collection but i don't know how to start
p.s. I think I'd tape down that finger nail till the new growth pushes it out. Ouch!

Meteowrong? Very funny 😂
That nail of yours is definitely a meteorite. It will pass the magnet test with all the iron in your blood cloth
Piece of Magnetite en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite
Is it lead mixed with a ferrous material? Try melting it?
List it for sale on Craigslist $ 100,000 U.S. ???
would you like to sell it? i will buy it if we can agree on a fair price
Boss contact me
Meteorwrong..:)
Fantastic video, i really hope it's not airplane poop
Definitely a meteorite.
Thanks for the science lesson! lol
Looks like iron ore to me.
Enjoyed the video
❤❤❤❤ Very good
if it was found on or near a railroad track no I have found rocks like that it is not very magnetic but it is silver looking on the inside earth material have many meteorites but think if it barely sticks to a magnet it is not going to have enough iron to set off a metal detector
Super user video sir
failed the streak test
Always in Hance by using a acid to bring out pattern ...it could be a new discovery ..by looking at it I feel you should get it tested by professional ..find a college that do earth science go from there....good luck u guys
let your kid paint it !, put googy eyes in it and WAAALAA!! alien paper weight !! mu wife does lots of arts and crafts stuff with our two children , Hey good luck in your future hunts guys !
I just like love your chennal
I found a few of those 3dsys ago thru out mojave desert.
It appears to be similar I am hunting
if its ferro can you use it to start fires like a ferro rod?
if so its good to take with you camping, if it works the same.
the streak test is on the cut portion. Can I have it?
If near the railroad bed, it's slag.
Nice clip folks the next one may be gold
Wow. Hey you been reading it wrong, It's a real meteorite. Who said it brown streak? congrats you found yourself a meteorite, now to prove more cut the rock half and see what the color inside, if it match the outside color, it's not, you have founded a Achondrite Meteorite.

Could be fuel for a UFO
Its raw iron ore
Very good
Like I thought, it's a meteorite
wow !!!! that finger looks sore......
to bad on the meteor not
ywhat you do is cut it in half and rub some paint remover on it and polish it up 3000 grit
Thanks alot ....
YES, ITS A METEORITE
Nickel meteorite.
Yes it's a meteurites but how can we sll meteurites ?
Finding it near a railroad track is a bad sign. Slag.
I also have a battery, but I am in Cambodia
Good to see you did your homework, this is the link I use to tell whether you have a meteor or not. You may have seen it..? GL&HH www.meteoritemarket.com/metid1.htm
No I believe you have 1 moon or something from above
call it leverite leave it where you found it ha ha.
meteor-wrong lol
Good

this is a meteorite
colk from an old train?
Bill Grube coke is quite lightweight, similar to coal.. It does get picked up by a metal detector though
get the minerals tested
Do you Buy Meteriorites
I have one piece meteorite stone , what I do
Pl. Give me suggestions , iam from sikkim
find by train tracks likely slag
Your finger looks so sore
It is! But it's getting better :)
I have meteorite
I say meteorite...
Why's that? I ask because I've got a whole bunch of black rocks different types that stick to that same magnet. Some stick very well others not so good
