Grandfather Mahmut Sahin who lives in the town of Ɛlmshorn, in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is thrilled when scientists say the stone that hit his yard is extremely valuable.
Last month, Mr Mahmut and his wife were drinking coffee on the porch when they suddenly heard a loud explosion. The two rushed to check and discovered that a boulder had fallen from the sky, creating a hole in the ground. The pit even smelled of smoke.
They immediately called the fire department as they believed their house had a gas leak. However, when firefighters arrived, they determined it was not a gas or chemical reaction. They suspect the stone could be a meteorite.
The Mahmut family decided to test two magnets. They heard that meteorites are magnetic and ordinary rocks are not. If it attracts a magnet, the possibility of the stone falling from the sky is most likely a meteorite. Unexpectedly, the 2 magnets really stuck to the stone.
After a while of discussion, Mr. Mahmut contacted the TI expertsGerman Aerospace Center (DLR) by inspection. After careful examination, experts have determined that this stone is really a meteorite. It is 4.5 billion years old. Most likely, this meteorite traveled millions of miles through space to Earth.
After testing, experts determined that this stone was indeed a meteorite.

When news broke about the Mahmut family finding a meteorite in their garden, many people offered to buy it back. Offers come from many parts of the world. Museums have also been contacted to bring meteorites for display. Someone offered to pay over 5 billion VND to own it.
Mahmut and his family were delighted to hear this news. Mr Mahmut said the rare meteorite that fell on his land was like accidentally winning a special lottery prize.
