Aluminum, Copper, Lead, Tin, Titanium, Zinc & Some Forms Of Steel Are Not Magnetic. Could Be A Meteorite, It Could Also Be Some Other Kind Of Hard Rock.
Edit: I Have Just Read That Most Meteorites Are Somewhat Magnetic.

You could try breaking a piece off to see what the internal structure looks like, but it's probably not a meteorite.

Most Hardware Stores Sell Earth Magnets For A Couple Bucks Or So.

Me and my friend went canoeing and magnet fishing in a river a few weeks ago.
We kept pulling up little rocks that he thought were meteorites and he was all stoked about it until he threw his magnet out in his flower bed and was picking up landscaping rocks, lol.
Those 1000 lb magnets are strong as shit.

Does not look like any meteorites I've seen. I mine obsidian, agate, and aquamarine. I know a lot of meteorite dealers but I'm not really into them myself. It looks like a rock, maybe with a high concentration of manganese, which is common and is not magnetic, but polishes like hematite and is used to harden steel.

It’s not a meteorite, it’s just volcanic rock.

Probably not. Missouri was highly volcanic at one point.

Meteorites have holes in them most of the time.
