Hey there Christina--
I work at the Science Museum as the Curator of Collections and Museum Educator. It sounds like you've done your research--most "meteorites" turn out to be slag--but you never know. I would recommend you contact a friend who is the Curator of Earth Sciences at the Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville, VA--276-666-8600--Dr. Jim Beard--jbeard2@vmnh.net. Take your specimen in during the week for an official ID--you may have to leave it--just fill out paperwork and make sure you tell them that you want it back.
Good luck and come visit our Science Museum!

Christina I'm leaning toward it not being a meteorite also, but I'll hold on to it until I can contact someone at Tech to have it tested. It's really so small and not likely worth much, even if it were a meteorite, so I hate to bother anyone over it. Thank you guys for taking the time to read the blog for me. We are members at the museum and will likely be there a lot over the summer.

Christina--
Mark Hodges, our exhibits and planetarium manager read your blog, but doesn't think it's likely to be a meteorite. He says it’s very hard to identify one just by looking at it, but if it hit your house after entering the atmosphere, it probably would have punched a hole through the roof. Also it would not have rusted that quickly. He says the only real way to tell if it is a meteorite or not is to have it tested, and suggests that someone at Virginia Tech might be able to test it for you.
Thanks for asking!

Is there anyone at the science museum who can identify meteorites and meteorwrongs? I found something suspicious... which might just be iron slag. I blogged about it. (pic included)
