:clapping::detecting: 2-8-09 Went again today

[TABAGO]

Well the temp was about 78 degree's today that's very good for St. Louis Area in Feb.
found 6 dimes, 11 zinc pennies, an 7 copper pennies, copper is in the tumbler getting cleaned up was doing a bunch of copper ones so Thu those in to.
all so found a small toy plane, cheapo ring LOL, an a hunk of iron, not sure what it is I think maybe it a piece of slag, or something it's very ruff looking but feels smooth and
weighs 58.8 grams (heavy for it's size

That iron Whatsit looks a lot like some meteorites I've seen! Do you get any nickle ID readings anywhere on it? Rotate it about while scanning in an air test, with disc at zero. Put a compass on a table and pass the Whatsit over it. Does the compass pointer wiggle? Does it attract to a magnet? (Test to a compass first!) Just as likely to be slag or scrap, but I'd hang onto it till I was sure.
