[meteorite-list] Possible Meteorite Value if used as Tools

[MeteorHntr at aol.com]

All,

Beaver, Oklahoma was used as a Jail  door stop.  ASU has a plant shucking 
tool of some sort made from Toluca,  Mexico if I remember correctly.  
Leoville, Kansas was used to help weigh  down a farm plow.  Willamette was used to 
as a water bowl in rituals.   Axtell, Texas was used as a door stop.  Many 
were used as door stops and as  weights to hold down chicken shed roofs.  
Sommervel County, Texas was found  in a stone wall, as was Bethune, Colorado as 
I recall.  One was used to  melt down to make gun barrells.  The list goes 
on and  on.

List:

I  was wondering if a meteorite would be more desirable if it was used as a 
tool;  or if this has even been documented?  I know there has knives made 
from  irons, but I'm talking more like an irons being used for some purpose: 
perhaps a  hammer for pounding.  I cannot think of any other examples, but 
there may  be more.

Thanks,
