Don't forget that sometimes terrestrial rocks (not man-made) can show enough
magnetic attraction to make you go "Hmmm", especially if it appears they show
other meteoric characteristics, like something that appears to be fusion crust
or flow lines. The local Hawaiian basalts have enough iron content to stick
weakly to a magnet.
Best!
