Does any one think this could be a blacksmiths drift forged out af a meteorite , or just an old blacksmiths drift

[Jeff]

Went back and found these in the same area? what are they?

The first object looks metallic, but is too symetrical to be extraterrestrial. Notice the 6-sided appearance, where all sides balance. Meteorites are rarely balanced in appearance, and never have flattened multiple sides (this has six flattened sides).

As for the bottom specimens. No idea. Are any of the bottom specimens magnetic?

Might be meteoritic material but obviously hand-shaped. The "flow lines" are probably file marks. TTC

Terry please explain to this man why you told him it "Might be meteoritic material." He is taking you seriously. He thinks he has found something not of this world.

Ok, its late and my mind isnt functioning at 100% so i cant think of the proper term. That looks to me like an old weight that was put overboard on a rope to calculate the speed of the boat. S,ethi with knots ties in the rope and how fast it went down. Sorry cant recall all of it at this time, but that is what it looks like to me.

ok thanks for the insight, i will keep that in mind...

Let me say this very clear. There is no way in the world that your item is a meteorite or made from a meteorite and I want to hear Terrys explanation. I dont think he meant what he said in the literary sense.
