Bounty Tracker IV
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
So I came across this rock. The metal detector went crazy. I cleaned it up, light weight (23g) & non magnetic. It looks like there may be glass or something shiny and clear in the middle. It was found in a cornfield with no other rocks like it.

Please help

Thanks

An iron meteorite that size would be much, much heavier. For that matter so would a stony meteorite. Can't say what it is, but I don't think at that light a weight it is a meteorite.

Almost all meteorites are magnetic and very dense. Not sure what it is, but it's probably not a meteorite.

Perhaps a Fulgurite (lightning strike) with naturally occurring metallic minerals? I found one once when I saw a tree hit, and have seen similar with high voltage wires arcing on the ground. They are rarely as intricate at you will see if you google them, most look very similar to what you have and have a gritty, glassy quality to them.
