Meteorite or wrong?


Recommended Posts

Yo, Rob..I found what appeared to be an awesome meteorite...Even several guys skilled in meteorites thought I had one...Turned out to be an unusually beat up chunk of iron...Oh well, false alarm, I guess...I can't wait until the real deal comes along if just the thrill of thinking I'd found something cool was this great...But I did find a few bits of gold along with it...Just haven't posted those dinks...Cheers, Unc

I have always wondered how many if any Metors I have thrown to the side thinking they were just another HOTROCK :blink: I figure years and years of hunting gold I must have discarded one or 2 over the years but then again who knows :huh: .

Best of Luck in your quest

Hello Uncle Ron,

I know exactly what you're talking about. Several years ago Glenn and I were prospecting when we both started picking up iron fragments. I was convinced they were iron meteorites. We both got so freaking excited that we hit a new strewnfield. Later in the day Glenn picked up a piece that has some lines across the metal. This was a bit disappointment, as we knew it now wasn't an new field or meteorite. After doing some research we found out that the area was once used for fragment grenades ... :(

Take care,

Rob Allison
