What was the last meteorite found in the USA Mainland? How 'bout worldwide? 'Falling Stars' are visible every evening somewhere on this planet I would think, but finding them is something else of course. I used to watch Meteorite Men on the Science Channel years back. What were those cats names? Gregory maybe and one other guy. It always interest me . . . how meteorites were located and hopefully found. I remember one they found that was huge like maybe 3' in diameter. It wasn't from a recent fireball that someone saw falling. I always wondered why they were looking on this particular large farm & pasture land? It was like 6' deep. I think they were using a custom 2-box detector on wheels. It lay along the side of a long fence line. Did anyone see that particular Meteorite Men? Anyways meteorites are cool! Later, Billy -
The 6000 coaxed another meteorite out of Gold Basin, this is the largest I’ve found and reminds me of a chocolate brownie. It was baked and left at the edge of a shrub the two pieces that fit like a puzzle to the meteoritic brownie found near by. this was an aluminum can loud signal a 1” boot scrape made it even louder, a couple quick scrapes with my pick pulled a dense heavy rock out from about 4 inches down.
