Hi Michael,
Doesn't look meteoritic from the picture. I gather that if jumped up to your
magnet?
It looks like a granitic pebble. Lots of terrestrial rocks contain iron so a
magnet is a first step.
As Lasse suggests, grind a small window in it and look for metal flecks.

Hi List
I wanted to follow up on the "not the best place to hunt meteorites"
thread with a couple pictures of my latest find, found today using the
magnet hunting techniques I talked about. BTW, I got my inspiration for
this hunting method from the articles in O. Richard Norton's books where
he covers H. H. Nininger's career. I certainly don't take any credit for
the idea of hunting with magnets. I have simply added some of my own
ingredients into the recipe, so-to- speak. Anyway, here is what appears
to me to be a small stony with quite a bit of its fusion crust still
intact. I don't know what the bright, almost grass-green material is
that I can see in it but it is really pretty when seen through the
m-scope. Again, not authenticated.
