Is this a meteorite? | International Year of Astronomy in Ireland | Astronomy 2009

Is this a meteorite?

"My father and I found a small stone on Ballygalley beach.  This stone is unusally heavy for its size and has the appearance of a meteorite to our untrained eyes.  As you can see from the attached photos, it contains enough metal to be lifted by a 5lbs magnetic pick up tool.  An experts advice on this object would be most appreciated.

Yours sincerely June and Thomas Elliott"

Some people think this is not a meteorite but rather some derby of terrestrial origin, while others think that it has the characteristics of a space rock. What do you think? Write down your comments!
