Cool, thanks. So let me play devil's advocate for a sec here....
So someone has some rocks that you can hardly differentiate from other rocks here on earth. He tells you it's from the moon. He could be pulling your leg and have a plain old terrestrian rock. If you start to apply Occam's razor here....
Also, if I recall correctly, NASA determined that the moon was - if not 'hollow' - certainly less dense towards the centre. Didn't they disgard something like an engine or spent tank above the lunar surface a long time ago?
There was not any great quantity of exotic metals found. The surface is the same as when the moon broke off from earth after earth formed (whereas earth's surface and interior have continued to evolve from the action of the core and various levels). In the foreseeable future no one will get rich mining the moon for the materials found on the surface. But, there may be more valuable metals below the surface.
