Please helm me to identify this meteorite , i hope it is one , the weight of it seems to be about 15 kg , its magnetic . It is a solid piece of steel , on the bottom side it has some sort of buned staff ito it

Sorry but pretty sure this is a piece of slag. What were the find details? Have you tested for nickel?

Video of test here....

Now that is interesting.

Yes , got my nickel test . I couldnt post anything on forum ,some error kept appearing . This video is of the secound thing ive tested . Its tested positive for nickel . The first of my piece ,the big one also tests positive but only in particular spots where i made the cut into it . I really have to rub this around to get possitive nickel test .

Hi...try posting the video to you tube and putting a url link here to the video.

Interesting that you think it has nickel, although many man made metals in industry may have some added.

Next step would be to get a small end cut or one small flat area polished and try etching that area to see if a widmanstatten pattern appears....videos on you tube showing how to do that...safest way is with ferric chloride.
