Hi there, the suspect rock you found really doesn't appear to be a meteorite from what I have read, researched and found. A meteorite that size would have worn down by now, due to shear time on earth. The edges are too 'sharp' and not smooth from entering the atmosphere. The nickel test is only one test, as the same for the magnet. If you can, you need to get a piece of it and/or window it. To see the inside of it, looking for nickel and iron flakes. Have you tried to streak test it?

book to start with. You may have a great find on your hands if you have any questions you can message me or ruben or other guys on youtube. That can maybe walk you through it more carefully. Have a great one. Try posting the small fragments out in the sun if you decide to cut one that would tell views like me a lot more and how to help you further.

little round balls that are present in a lot of stone meteorites. Or if it has a stone/iron mix with rock peppered with metal. Or if is metal you can cut and polish a fresh cut edge and do what they call etching the specimen. Ruben (Mr-Meteorite) has a good video on his channel that will walk you through it step by step how to prep the sample, mix the acid and how to apply it to bring out the crystal pattern only found in meteorites. there are many good books to read rocks in space is agood

If it is a meteorite it has been on earth for a long time. I posted on your other video about the minerals found in your area check into that first. I'm not to sure about the geology of nevada but it could be a large deposit of iron barring rock. This is just a thought but it looks like you are in a shop area you could take a cutting wheel and cut off a piece of one of the smaller one and see if it has any of the any of the tell tell signs of other meteorites. If the inside has chondrules
