Well I think were back to the train wreck shrapnel. As I remember the pieces
could fly about 4 miles.

BTW - if anyone has a link to any meteorite in the shape of a
perfectly flanged button, iron or stony, please send me the link or
photo.

Manmade stuff ends up in weird places. I stand by my assessment until
I see a chemical analysis and verdict from a respectable authority on
meteorites. ;)
BTW - I know plenty about metal detectors and have spent years
wandering the wilds. I've run across some odd stuff out in the middle
of nowhere in places where there were no traces of human activity. So
the location has nothing to do with whether it's a meteorite or not.
I guess a cannonball found in the Franconia strewnfield must be a
meteorite because it was found in a known meteorite strewnfield.

It's a Franconia Iron. When you've been out in the field and walked two
and
a half miles into some inhospitable desert and you can only find them
within
the strewn field then you know... I have plenty of dumb bells and funky
"U"
shaped irons but most of them are flat and corn flake looking because
they
pealed out of the second or third break up of the meteorite and did not
have
enough time to orient. They don't get very big because most of them
were
only the size of peas or smaller when they peeled out of the meteorites
in
flight.
It's easy to sit in your rolly chair and say meteor wrong. I suggest
you
spend 50 hours learning to properly use a quality metal detector and
then
walk two miles from the rail road tracks(as a crow flies lol) and stay
out
there for 12 hours to get your head right. Then tell me the stuff you
found
was man made LMAO!!!
MANMADE!!! MANMADE!!! hahahaha

Hi All,
Flanged buttons of this type are limited to tektites, which undergo a
vastly different formation process than meteorites. There are no
meteorite flanged buttons, or if there is, I have not seen in during
my experience of handling thousands of meteorites and seeing photos of
tens of thousands of meteorites. Nor I have ever read anything in the
scientific literature that allows for meteorite flanged buttons of
this type.
This is either a meteorwrong, or a million-dollar find of the century
- I'd bet on the former.
Best regards,
MikeG

Why would you even think that's a meteorite? I think Darren called
it.
It's a snap fastener.
