Hi Sjoerd just curious …what states…in the US did you live and work? You have certainly lived a very full and exciting life .
Pac—several states. Alaska, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri to name a couple. We also travelled a great deal for one company, going coast to coast and north to south. That work took us to very many states. It was a nice experience and gave us exposure to such varied and interesting geography and climatic conditions there.
Zigs— another coupla pics of the possible meteorites: These are curious little pieces that seem totally out of place to the geology in our allotment.
Ta Sjoerd Not sure about your Meteorites without handling them, sometimes they turn out to be metal slag from fires or furnaces, although iron ones are quite hard to tell the difference. Sometimes you'll see the fusion crust has melted and puddled on the other side that it entered the atmosphere. My Siberian iron one is very attracted to a magnet but the Chinese iron one is only slightly. I guess that doesn't help much
Annie— I have not tried a magnet. Zigs— one piece absolutely looks like slag. The smaller, heavier one may be a meteorite. Oh well, it is fun to speculate. Those are some nice specimens that you have. I appreciate your comments and picture.
I was looking in favour of the smaller one Sjoerd It's odd to think they're older than the Earth Thank you I've nearly finished searching the top field, two more to go after that.
Ta Sjoerd Today I found 3 pound coins, 20p, 2p, 1p a 1971 half penny, a 1921 George the Fifth half penny and a Roman Fibula Everyone in the Roman empire used these or similar (there are some very ornate ones) to hold their clothes on. There's a little bit of gold on this one.
