NJ Art Posted March 25, 2024 Share Posted March 25, 2024 Not sure what this is. It has iron throughout with some kind of white shining metal scattered with the iron. It was found in a field along our bay area in New Jersey metal detecting. It passed the magnet test of course but the bigger holes on just one side reminded me of coral or limestone, a NOT by what I am reading. There are very small gray areas that look like glazing on pottery. Thanks for looking.

NJ Art Posted September 18, 2024 Author Share Posted September 18, 2024 Purchased a used 10 inch rock saw and put a new .030 blade on it. To my surprise the matrix is blueish gray with small metalic spheres with patches and strings of a chrome colored crystal or metal, they are sparsely throughout. It definitely has been metamorphosed. Gathered my 5 grams to be sent for whole rock testing. Closeups are 100x to 200x. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25839-field-find/#findComment-281260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob S. Posted September 18, 2024 Share Posted September 18, 2024 To me I almost see ordinary concrete mixed with iron bar and maybe re-bar rod with tie wire. This chunk may have been part of something submerged in the ocean for awhile, oxidized and eroded. Later to be busted up and used as land fill in the field you are hunting. Sorry, I love a good mystery! 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25839-field-find/#findComment-281264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Art Posted September 18, 2024 Author Share Posted September 18, 2024 A mystery it is... When I first picked it up I thought the same thing, concrete with iron. Definitely not concrete. I like your land fill story, good laugh it was. Stand by for the rest of the story.

Bob S. Posted October 1, 2024 Share Posted October 1, 2024 Hmmm! I see everything but the "kitchen sink" in there. It would be amazing if it was a little chunk from our "Second Moon" asteroid right now! But now it's worth only a sliver of what it formally was! 🙂 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25839-field-find/#findComment-282025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope its from way, way out of town, the "Second Moon" asteroid would be far enough away for me. Sort of like the George Washington inaugurals buttons, once few now many, the sliver effect.
