cpper Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hello, I found this thing last week during my camping holiday at the Black Sea. It was 600m away from the shore, sitting in the sand dunes. There are no buildings, roads, or any man made stuff in the area. It's attracted by magnets. Is it more than a piece of old metal ? Here are some images: https://imgur.com/a/wCRXZzz Thanks 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Seeker Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hard to say just from those photos, would need to see the interior of the piece to even possibly make a guess. You need to grind one of the edges smooth so we can get a good look at the interior, doing this is called a "window", it will not affect/decrease the value of the piece if it is indeed a meteorite. This can be done with good piece of emery cloth wrapped around a flat stick or a metal file or a combination of both, the smoother you can get it the better. If it turns out we think it could be a meteorite you will still need to get it "certified" by a meteorite expert/s, to prove it is indeed a meteorite.

la torche Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 meteorites are ferrous and therefore react to magnets, this would give you a first glimpse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
