The stony's I found sounded off like crazy and were slightly magnetic so they had some metal content.

Perhaps true stonys have no metal content. I don't know that much about meteorites. The iron one I found was easily identifiable as I had seen those before.

The other three I was unsure of so I sent them over to the college for identification. They confirmed that all four were indeed meteorites although they felt they were from two different meteors.

Let's be careful out there!

Doc
