:shrug:Good morning everyone,

Last weekend, I went scanning in the wood in my area. I found some pulltab, pennies and quarter but one thing happened to me and at the same time it really bugs me. I was walking and I suddenly had a strong signal on a pile of stones, I removed one stone, signal still there, removed another stone signal always there, removed a third one and the signal now is gone. I rescan the stones I've just removed and with one of them I had a good signal, I looked at it and throw it away. I kept walking and good signal again on another stone. I kept both of them to analyse them. This morning, I wash them, I used my bench grinder to polish the smallest one which is the size of a softball ball and the other one the size of a pie. After polish the stone is pale grey and I can see veins in it. It's pale brown with some black dot with very little sparks.
Where can I go to know what is this stone?
I'm using a Tesoro Vaquero and no matter where I put the discrimination knob I always have signal with these stones.
Maybe something interesting but no experience so I don't know...
I've tried a magnet and it stick on my stone. Magnet on the brown spot of that rock.
 
Well I'm not sure but it could be iron deposits in the stone sense a manget sticks to it some call them hot rocks. Howard
 
Hi there
Its been said but the bottom color of the Stone looks Iron Ore Deposit to me,The bottom left of the Stone, chip away at this section should go quite bright Brown.Funny the rest of the Stone color at the Top looks Grey in color.

Do you have different detectors to test on that baby? Be interesting to know if all responded the same as your Tesoro.
 
Could it be a meteorite? A huge one?
