Midnight Metal Detecting - My First Meteorite Find with Minelab E-Trac



I decided to check it out, and just below the surface was this rock thing, it was dark, but could not see it really, I swung my coil over it and it sent of a signal in the 12.04 range, which is a good range for metal.
As soon as I saw it in the light, I thought maybe I have got myself my first meteorite here, it is definitely something unusual, a metal rock, with a limestone type substance on parts as well as bits of red amongst the rock.
I have seen nickel rock before, this looks similar, but the closest nickel to my hometown is 500kms away.
The "meteorite" weighs at least 1 kilogram and is 90mm x 90mm x 40mm in dimensions
