Thank you for all of the replies. I was sure it was not a meteorite, just hoping since it got my heart rate up when we stumbled upon it. It caused one of the team members to say "you lucky b_stard" when I pointed it out in situ. I did not take any field pictures of it since I wasn't convinced it was a meteorite. I determined this once I got down on all fours and looked at it close.
I tried the streak test, came out faint chalky white, not black or red. I forgot all about the acid test to see if it bubbled. I am out of nitric acid since I moved and did not want to pack this noxious chemical along, especially after the bad experience I had several years ago with some hippies "magic cleaning solution" that I bought in Denver after looking at his spotless specimens. I did not provide the sample that another Adam was given credit for on Randy's site. By the way, this is the best meteorwrong site I have looked at. Usually, I am concerned with the real thing but find terrestrial rocks to be fascinating as well.
