I actually smelted some ore and gold came back I'll have to find the peices because the pictures are on my other phone also I pretty sure I have found some meteorites iron meteorites and a nugget of platinum

How did you smelt that ore, what was your flux?
I'm kind of curious why you are not answering questions on the origin of the rocks and the information I have asked for?
 
Between both poor lighting and very poor focus your images show rocks with gold tones mottled on the surface. Do better.

Perhaps a real digital camera with good macro capabilities and daylight spectrum lighting instead of the cell phone in yellow artificial light. Also, indirect light has better results than direct light.

As to the rocks themselves by general color and appearance, most appear to be one form of quartz or another. The yellow/orange coloring could be a number of things. The first thing that came to mind was iron stained quartz. Another was pyrite, which often has a hue similar to gold to the untrained eye. Near the bottom of possible reasons for the color is gold.

Without better evidence, I have near zero confidence in gold, based solely on the images provided.

Time for more coffee.
 
I have a 56lb Meteorite fragment. I found a huge impact in my back yard. I have had an assay on it. 41.8% iron, 10% titanium, and 3% Osmiridium, are the larger of the numbers (only had an xrf scan and a rare earth scan). If anyone is interested please let me know.

As we often say, get a proper assay, until you do you have rocks.
Sadly XRFs are notorious liars on ore and rocks, unless they have the right libraries and skilled operators.
To my eyes it do not look like meteorites though.
An NiS assay will show.

I doubt you have a meteorite. Neither the large rock with multiple images, or the small rocks have any visible characteristics of meteorites.

As Yggdrasil stated above, XRF machines are notoriously unreliable on rocks. Those reasons have been discussed many times on this forum.

Please post your images on any of the several hundred forums available worldwide that deal with meteorites. Folks on most of those are far more knowledgeable than most here would be.

Also, you should have started a separate thread, not hijack an existing thread that has nothing do do with meteorites.

Time for more coffee.
 
I have Bruce Dice mineralogical Museums curator who says its a meteorite and we found the crater.

Not a meteorite.

Too clean, no nickel, too much titanium. Water worn boulder.

I've bought, sold and traded meteorites for 20 years and also have one on a long time loan to a museum.

Hopefully you didn't pay for these rock specimens. FYI, none of these appear to be "nuggets". Nuggets are primarily of metallic content. If your samples do assay in payable quantities, then they would be considered "ore", or specimens. By not knowing the proper lingo used in this game, you send the red flag of " I do not know what I am talking about". Next time, ask to see if anybody here can help you identify your materials. We are here to help, but also see a fair share of scammers, BS artists, numb nuts, and a bunch more of the insidious crowd, trying to make a fast buck. Good luck in your rock collecting endeavors, it is interesting and fun.

A crater? That stone on picture 1000611 seems in situ. The small pebbles would have been thrown in all directions and if there is a crater, the stone will not lay on the surface in between other similar river stones, but be buried in the center of the crater, underneath the soil it hit.
It does seem to have a sulphide band in it. the smaller rocks seem to be mostly sulphides, but they also look like also recently broken rock without any oxidation on it.
In the end, all rocks came from space. that's how the earth was formed, and there are rocky meteorites as well. But a meteor in a crater in river pebbles?
Are you seeing things that are not there?
