Did you read that page you linked to? If it isn't magnetic, that's a real bad sign, and probably isn't a meteorite.
""I found one of those rare meteorites that doesn't stick to a magnet" Unfortunately, that is not likely. Even the most experienced meteorite hunters who have found hundreds of specimens hardly ever find one of those rare meteorites which is not attracted to a magnet. The few meteorites that are not attracted to magnets look much like earth rocks and the majority of those have been found because it was a witnessed fall. If you've found a shiny metallic-looking rock that doesn't stick to a magnet, it's not a meteorite. The earth rock most commonly mistaken for a meteorite is hematite, a common iron oxide which has a bubbly red, gray, or black metallic surface, and is sometimes called a kidney stone. Please see "Streak Test" below for more information about identifying hematite. If you think you have found a rare lunar meteorite, unless it has fusion crust, please do not send it in to us for identification. Please see the Washington University in St. Louis web site on lunar meteorite identification."

"2) The Magnet Test Please remember, a meteorite will stick easily to a good magnet. If your rock does not adhere to a powerful magnet you almost certainly do not have a meteorite. There are many Earth rocks that also stick to magnets, so if your specimen adheres to a magnet it is not automatically a meteorite, but it's a step in the right direction."
I wouldn't spend the money just yet, but anything is possible.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
