As Dr Irving from the U WA says, "give it to me".
Kidding aside, it isn't easy to tell a meteorite. I look for them every where I go. We've even been on a hunt or two where they've been seen to fall and haven't been found yet.
You need to go see as many as you can. Museums, rock shows, university and observatory displays are some places. Then you need to read a few meteorite hunters books with lots of color pictures. Go to the net for more pics and pointers on identifying them.
If you find a rock you think might be a meteorite, there are several places to get it identified for only the cost of getting it there and back. Planetary scientists or geologists sometimes know more about meteorites than astronomers, believe it or not. Ask around the astronomy department at your local U and you can probably find someone willing to give you an opinion.
As far as moving it, grab it quick. There is not too much data in how it hits the ground. More data comes from the stone itself. If it truly was a new fall, put it in a sealed bag and handle it as little as possible so as not to contaminate it. The more pristine it is the more valuable to science. Let studies be done, then get it back to keep, donate or sell.
Here are some good picture and ID sites.
