Hi Dave, do you know how deep this object was buried?

Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite-wrong pics
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
