What is this rock? It came from Lower Penninsula, Michigan. I found a hill that was eroding into the stream, so i panned through it and found alot of this silverish metallic rock. This is one of the biggest chunks ive found so far. I did some google image searching and all i could come up with was pyrite? But im no identifier. Please help, Thank youuu P.s If i break it open its a bright reflective silver metallic color all the way through.. Attachments:

I believe you are correct. I believe it is a meteorite. I dug up about a dozen of those one time and they registered silver dollar on my detector. Don't you know it I threw them back down. Later I found a large sink hole near there and I believe the stones I found were thrown from the meteorite's impact. Live and learn. My stones were very heavy is yours similar?
