Could use some knowledge guys

I would say the odds are in your favor. The smooth, melted, rounded side and the other side is rough and broken. Likely a meteorite fragment. Call the local university and see if they have someone that could take a look.

It getS my vote!

The Shiny one to your left is a YES... an iron meteorite, did you find it, or purchase it? The one to your right is almost a no, bad picture, hard to see.

 

[Underneathyourfeet]

No I found it ...the pictures are the same rock

Sorry, but it is definitely not a meteorite. Lots of what are called meteorwrongs out here, and this is one.

you may, or may not, find similar examples on these pages:

That 2nd pic is what told me a no, but the first looks like one, take a look at some canyon diablo iron meteorites.

Looks like one. It may have broken up which is why one side is rough.

Have you been able to find someone to check it for you. Could be a great find, some meteorite is sold by the gram.
