Hey Guys! :)

This is my first post. I Found on my field these 2 old and amazing rocks. One, the big one (orange color) is about 55kg heavy, and it sticks to magnet. It is kinda heavy for common rock, looks interesting so I thought, maybe its a meteorite. I
haven't gone yet in lab for nickel test(maybe I'll do it later). So maybe you can possibly help with identification. I chopped (you can see in picture) small slice so i can see it, what it looks like from inside. Here is some pictures. The second one (small) also sticks to magnet, i thought, maybe it is a Moon meteorite because of white spots on it. also added pictures.
I don't know how much is it allowed to upload pictures here, so I added more pics in the the link. I hope you guys help me with possible indetification! :) Thanks a bunch. (sorry for grammar mistakes, am not native english speaker)

I don't know much at all, (im very new to all this) but in my reading, it said that if it has holes, it's not likely to be one. But I've also read that that rule may not apply, depending on how weathered it is. So I would definitely not rule it out without making sure.
Good luck to you. :)
