One option is to open an account at one of the free picture host sites, like 
myfilehut.com, photobucket.com, thepicplace.com - a google search will give 
you loads of sites.

There are some minor restrictions on the free accounts.

A url will accompany the pic that you've posted, and you can copy and paste 
that into your MetList post for the link there.

I would like to show a picture of what a friend of a friend thinks might be 
a meteorite but I know we are not permitted attachments in our emails to the 
list.  Any ideas of how I can post a few pictures?

The object which this person dug up (on a 20 acre rural plot in Illinois) is 
very round, 9 1/4 inch in diameter and weighs 110 lbs.  That's pretty much 
the density of iron, 7.87 g/cc or 492 lb/ft3.  It's surface is rusted, but 
it is nearly perfectly round.  The rusted surface gives the impression of 
thumbprints but it is simply rusted.  I think it's a cannonball but am not 
certain that old cannonballs were this size and weighed 110 lbs.

I filed off a chink to do a nickel test but so far haven't the right 
chemicals to do one.

Any ideas?

Dave
