meteorite

[flyinguy]

i found a meteorite in my back yard. (no aliens). i had a rock shop guy look at it and he said sure is. he didn't know a value. it is about 1.5x1.5 inches and about .75 inches thick. one side flat and the other rounded. very heavy for the size and a solid signal. is it worth a penny? Bill

it can be worth a Few $$ Up to a Few Hundred. maybe more.

The trick is Finding out it's Composition then Finding a Buyer.

meteorite can sell for $8 to $20 a gram
If it is from the moon or Mars, it could be worth millions.
