Could this be a iron-stone mesosiderite?
Found in the field at a depth of 30 cm. Specific gravity (density) from 5-6 mg.sm. Weight 9 kg. One side is melted. The other two are similar that a split occurred. The neodymium magnet is magnetized. On the magnet from the refrigerator does not react. The metal detector is consistently showing VDI 88. There are no metal factories nearby. 20170418_122621.jpg file:///C:/Users/%5E_%5E/Desktop/%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C/20170418_122533.jpg

If not a meteorite. Then what is it? Why not mezosederit?
The photo of the slices shows that it consists of metal and silicate. Very durable.
it's hard to cut. Sawdust has a magnetic and non-magnetic dust.
