[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9820514, member: 2844"]You can never date anything by the amount of rust on it. There are so many factors to be taken into acount. Don't try to be cute, that doesn't help with your query. Besides, you didn't tell me which expert said it wasn't a meteorite, nor did you say you would ask one of the (other) museums. You didn't mention any site, only "in the Netherlands" and "a garden". You're forgetting that I live in the Netherlands as well. So I know that there aren't many rocks in the Netherlands, and I also know that most rocks in Dutch gardens are imported. I thought it might be of interest to you to find the origin of the possible meteorite, and if there were any other meteorites in the region of origin, which is why I asked. If it were mine I would like to know, but I guess you don't care. Fine, scrap that question. Second, if you gave us the correct size and weight, it clearly was. I know they do, and I know they can, and not just iron. I don't know why you assume that I am so ignorant that I wouldn't know that. Just for your information: This is the last time I tried to help you. You always have such an attitude and think you know everything better than the people who are trying to help you, when you clearly don't. Granted, in the end you always admit that you were wrong, but that process of gaining insight takes too long for me. I am not going on that negative roller coaster with you again.[/QUOTE]
