[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 82104, member: 2964"] Hi Promo, definitely not a meteorite, I have handled many and collect them.. 90% sure from the images that it is a piece of basalt, which is iron rich. I spend a lot of time out Sofala way and basalt from an old lava field above Sofala has spilt basalt rocks down the hills and into the river. They really give a nice signal, especially when the high iron content in them oxidizes a bit. Don't stop picking up interesting rocks and checking em out though. cheers RedDirtDigger [/QUOTE]
