A 22Lb chunk is a substantial meteorite IMO! Need PIX! Without pix it could just be a Boeing bomb! Joe Dirt once found one & just a little tip (if it has a peanut sticking out anywhere it's not a space peanut) & if there is what you actually have is just a big old chunk of frozen poopie.

A lot of it depends on the type of meteorite it is. If its a true meteorite, it will need to be tested for confirmation. One thing they all have in common is nickle. ok, lets say you have it tested and they can give you a thumbs up that it is a meteorite, then your 22 lb chunk of space rock could be EXTREMELY valuable. Museums love this stuff, and it possibly could go into the 5 or 6 figures because its so large, making it very rare..... Definitely worth looking into to having it tested.....

I saw a story on TV about a guy who had a rock he found in the CA desert and was using as a doorstop and a friend had him get it examined and was from Mars and worth a quarter million dollars and he couldn't remember where he found it.

If you like that "Meteorite" you found at Amboy there sonny

I have thousands and thousands of them over at the "Pisgah Crater Ranch"
What makes them better than the Amboy "meteorites" you ask?

Well son, at Pisgah Crater Ranch, our "meteorites" are "Free Range".

In fact I will give you a coupon for clear into next year since your my first customer here at the ranch.
It's an all you can carry coupon too.

Just think of the joy you'll bring this year kid, all of your relatives opening up genuine Pisgah Crater Ranch, Free Range "Meteorites" for Christmas.
Kind of brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.

Oh, and Kid. Don't forget, Easter is just around the corner.
Maybe use a little paint, fake grass, basket.

Kid, I'm telling you, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

I 40 east from Barstow, exit Hector Rd south, left on historic Rt 66.
You can't miss it.
