Any of these look promising?

All this stuff is magnetic (to varying degrees) & unusually heavy...found in Kansas, mostly in Douglas, Leavenworth, Jefferson, Franklin, Riley, Wabaunsee, Shawnee, Johnson counties. Have more than what's pictured.

Any chance there's a homerun hit (or 2 or 3...) in this batch?

Thanks for looking!

Best Regards
JK

I think this circled one looks good and so do some others. If you can file off an inconspicuous corner and look for metal flecks or chondrules. Also look for cracks & remnant fusion crust.

Maybe an up close picture.

Hi JK!

Interesting finds. I agree with the gentleman who posted before me. The one he circled looks the most promising. But it's impossible to tell from a photo.

137 approved meteorites have been found in Kansas (find locations, not individual meteorites), so there is a good chance one of your finds might be meteoritic.

Here is a link to all known Kansas meteorites. If you compare your find locations to the locations in this link, it may help you narrow down the field.

Hello. I thought I'd post this for an opinion. The fact that I found it in the N.J. coastal area rich in bog iron, and the fact I found it at a late 1680's location make me almost certain it is very early smelted iron, but someone suggested to me meteorite so here goes: it is extremely heavy for its size (whichh is about five inches long) and it holds a magent tightly as though it was iron or steel. There was no apparent rust on it, only discoloration. Thanks for looking.

sorry, I see I posted this on the wrong thread!

The first blown up rock looks like it could be a meteorite. I do see nickel flecks. Check it out a little better.

I would take them to someone at the university and have them look at it. just don't leave them there, maintain possession
you don't want them to disappear
