There is nothing about this meteorite that suggests meteorwrong. solid iron,
no cracks, no holes.
Just a guy who likely has never seen a meteorite declaring that it was not a
meteorite. It seems most geologists dont know a thing about meteorites.

Yep I know this too. Thats the other paintfull problem that peoples who
know nothing about meteorites think they could be experts just only they
know most of rock on our planet. But we are here and we are ready to stop
them.
Even Zaklodzie was first tested here in Poland by some "specialists" and
throw avay as meteorwrong. That could be a waste :)
