If the first one is a meteorite I have some rocks I need to get checked out that I thought were slag or iron ore.
Looking forward to any update, Alwayslooking2.

I took it to get checked and YES IT IS A METEORITE IM SO EXCITED!!!!

The fracture lines look wrong, did you use a regular magnet or a very strong rare earth magnet? It makes a difference unless the meteorite is an iron, in which as I stated, the fracture lines look wrong.
one for sure way to tell is to cut a piece off, or grind and polish a flat surface of it, then etch it with nitric acid and look for widmastatten pattern.
unfortunately, most people who actually know how to grade a meteorite are usually to busy to do it, as some of the test are time consuming in the case of a stony, or stony iron meteorite, can be quite complicated, i.e. nickel test and reflectance test.
