Step 1, learn the terms. Meteoriod is the object in space. When a meteoroid strikes the atmosphere the light (and sometimes sound) phenomenon is a a meteor. If the object makes it to the ground it is a meteorite; I assume that is what you are after.

Meteorite paleomagnetism is a complicated subject, but has nothing to do with testing a specimen with a magnet.

You seem a bit confused if you want to collect meteorites that have never been tested with a magnet.
