Nah, "fireplace mantle" is an acceptable alternate spelling for "fireplace mantel. He's just pulling your chain.
Have you tried the experiment of using a magnet to pull metal fragments from ordinary dirt and then checking them under a microscope to see if they appear to have melted? I tried this as a kid and easily convinced myself I had found meteoritic material. Collect enough and perhaps you could make something suitable for display on your mantel. (In which case, you have to send us pics.) :-) --Greg |
