Hi, 
 
I just finished cutting up some suspected meteorites from a hunting 
trip last week. I have started bringing home any suspicious rocks that 
may resemble weathered meteorites, even if they do not attract to a 
magnet. Out of the 10 suspected meteorites one turned out to be a 
weathered 13 gram chondrite. On the cut surface you can see small 
amounts of visible metal and a couple of chondrules. The magnets that I 
use are very strong and the magnet barely attracts to the meteorite. I 
almost threw it in the meteorite wrong pile on the side of the house. 
The 13 gram meteorite came from a new Nevada area with no reported 
finds. I will post some pictures of the new finds on my web page next 
week.
