Last hunt of the year for possible meteor?

[Jaws2]

I went back to a spot that has been worked to death by myself and a buddy of mine, just when you think its over for this spot one of us will manage to pull a few items out like the ones you see below.

Small gold ring with two small diamonds with one missing
silver charm

The thing that has me guessing is the dark item, I stuck it in my pocket because of the weight, I am always hoping to find a meteor, I think this passes a few tests.

It does weigh 22 grams very heavy for the size.
It does stick to a magnet.
I hit it with a hammer and it doesn't chip or crack.

Seems like it could be a meteor. I am going to have it checked out and will let you know what I find out.

Thanks for looking have a great New Year.

From here it looks more "meteoric" then a lot of the slag that we think might be a meteorite. Good luck. I hope you've found a cosmic end of the year treasure!

Here's the meteorite test..

Rub it hard against a cement porch or back of a ceramic tile. If it leaves a black streak it's magnetite.

WOW... that would be really cool if it was a meteor. Great job...

Looks like some fusion crust there and a little bit of rust staining.

If you file off a corner and see free metal or small round chondrules.
