I found it in a Kansas wheat field. I haven't found any hotrocks around here, so I don't think its hematite etc. I found it with my homebrew PI detector, my old Garrett barely sees it.

Its rusty on the outside and has been chipped by the plow. It looks to be darker inside. Of course it sticks to a magnet. It weighs 1.2g and displaces .3ml of water, as close as I can measure.

It sure is hard to get a decent picture of something that small

That is the problem with meteorites if you find one you don't know if it is one or not.....==Jim==

File a "window" into it and if you see little metal specks (chondrules) then there a very good chance it's a meteorite.
