There is nothing about this meteorite that suggests meteorwrong. solid iron, 
no cracks, no holes.
Just a guy who likely has never seen a meteorite declaring that it was not a 
meteorite. It seems most geologists dont know a thing about meteorites.

Yep I know this too.  Thats the other paintfull problem that peoples who 
know nothing about meteorites think they could be experts just only they 
know most of rock on our planet. But we are here and we are ready to stop 
them.
Even Zaklodzie was first tested here in Poland by some "specialists" and 
throw avay as meteorwrong. That could be a waste :)
