I have absolutely no professional knowledge when it come sto meteorites but i would be very surprised if that was one. They have to endure the extreme heat and deceleration of entering the atmosphere and most of them break up well before they touch down. They are almost never made of metal as that melts at the temperature meteorites get to on the way down and are almost always a singular sphereical shape because being 'lumpy' or made of multiple sections (like the one pitcured) creates massive stress points which would break it up with gravity/centrifugal force.

If however it is a meteorite i'd look it to getting it valued as they can be sold for a fortune! ;)
