[QUOTE="Goldfreak, post: 562879, member: 10082"] I grew up in this area I am in now and noticed as a boy the rocks in a hill behind where I lived are highly magnetic. I have been wondering for some time what type of rocks they are and want to finally find out. Is it magnetite or hematite or something else? Can it be smelted?
