More interesting finds

Had another interesting but fun hunting day in my back yard. Its been four years already and there is lots more to be found. Enjoy!







Some kind of glass thingy, I found it in the same hole as the rock.







Copper button, found it in the same area as the manoil truck



Clad dime



Not sure what kind of rock it is, except that its heavy, black and a neodymium magnet really sticks to it.

Sure looks to me like it could be a meteor. It has that smooth outer surface that meteors seem to get caused by extreme heat when entering the atmosphere. The fact that it's magnetic only adds to the possibility that it's a meteor. I bet someone over at MIT could tell you.

Thanks, I hope its one too.

I suspect your black magnetic rock is terrestrial magnetite, which is fairly common in some areas. Take a file to an obscure corner of it and see if after grinding off a bit it is shiny or dull black. If it is shiny it could be a meteorite, if dull black all the way through it is magnetite.

Your wide mouth glass 'jar' looks like it could be a porch light cover. Cool button!

Thanks, unfortunately it failed the tile test but i doubt the tile test because there are rocks on earth that don't leave scratches too. I'll try the nail filer trick if i can find one.
