🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Any ideas? Meteorite?

[ODELLRORRER]

I found this in a farm field in southwest Virginia. It's definitely metal according to my Equinox 800 and my pinpointer. I've tried a magnet and there doesn't seem to be any "pull" at all, so not magnetic... Do you all think I might have stumbled on to a meteorite? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!! Cheers!

Don't know what it is, but it's not a meteorite. Any meteorite which has a metallic composition or which has visible flecks of metal will be attracted to a magnet. There are no exceptions. Not all meteorites are metallic, but the metal in meteorites which contain it is always predominantly iron with lesser amounts of nickel.
