 Listees,
  Hello all, I found 23 of these stones, I think might be meteorites. I was wondering if anyone have seen any known
meteorites that resemble these stones. They has quite a bit of metal in them
and lots of inclusions. I have looked at many meteorite images looking
for a match and have not found one that matches it 100%. I have found
just over 1.9kg of it total. I sent a few sample to Al Mitterling and
he said it looks like a good candidate, but needs more testing. I was
just wondering what you all think of them. When I hear back from him I will let everyone here know if it is or it is just a wrong.
    I have been searching/hunting for over 3 years and these are the best finds I have made to date, keeping my fingers crossed, but not counting on it, I know how hard it is to make a cold find, especially here in Northern Illinois..

Here is a link to see some of them sliced and polished:
