Found this metal detecting on the beach of lake Michigan
Definitely not a meteor.
Meteroid - A solid body in space, smaller than an asteroid and at least as large as a dust speck.
Meteor - A bright streak of light that appears in the sky when a meteoroid is heated to incandescence by friction with the earth's atmosphere.
Meteorite - A stony or metallic mass of matter that has fallen to the earth's surface from outer space.
So it's not a meteor. I have no idea whether it's a meteorite.

Why do I feel like I just had a science class? Good information, and an awesome explanation and lesson on how we misuse words/terms.
