So after listening to my eldest son trying to understand why I spent over $1000 in my Tesoro's I made him to go with me to the lake in Big Spring Tx for some swings about an hr drive from where we live. Once there I showed him the little I've learned and gave him my Vaquero, Garrett Lesche, and Pinpointer while I swung my Lobo Supertraq, we were there in a little sandy area bunch of pull tabs and bottle caps were found along with your common fishing weights and some clad. My son was a bit disappointed with all the trash he was pulling out a cpl inches buried until he got a hit that took him a good 10 inches to recover the target, it was no pull tab or bottle cap or any regular trash, it's some kind of metallic rock, he got more excited when I told him in my "professional" experience that it was probably a meteorite....lmao...he asked me "You're serious?", that MD bug got into him and wants to buy my Vaquero....:icon_thumleft:. Anyway we had fun and really dont know what his find is. It still hits having disc to the max, here's a cpl pics and any help on the "meteorite" its appreciated.

Some things to consider,

Is your meteorite "overly" heavy for the size?
Is it attracted to a Magnet (some are not)".
Flow lines?
Any thumb prints...pea shaped "craters" on the surface...yours may have these by the photos.

Good Luck on the identification! :icon_thumleft:
