From the MetBul:

This specimen was discovered by Harold Magill when he tried to move it out of the way as he ran a new electric fence over an area where an old barbed-wire fence had once been. He had not noticed the stone lying there before, although he had been on the farm for 60 years. He assumed, since it exhibited plow marks, that either his father or grandfather had plowed it up and thrown it under the old fence to get it out of the field.

What a wonder large slice! Thanks Anne for sharing...is this photograph the exact same as on your website? Yes, Bernd is again correct: And pretty sure this meteorite contains native copper!
