use a magnet to see if there are magnetic particles, most of these will be small compounds with iron or metals of the sort, type in "dirt", "soil", and magnetic particles in dirt (use different wording) in search engines such as yahoo and google...also try wikipedia. that will give you alot of places to check out. Be specific so you get what you want.

I don't know any web sites, but there are easy experiments to see. Carefully clean a magnet, put some dirt in a tumbler and add water, stir until all large particles are broken up, and then insert the magnet. Iron oxide is magnetic; not much else is.

Why should people help you if you are going to call them names and be exclusionary?
If you are looking for magnetic particles in soil, stick a magnet in some samples and see what sticks. Chances are, if you do have some magnetic particles, they are iron based.
