John B. Pointy Finger Meteorites

[mn90403]

A forum friend and I went out to an area that John B said had meteorites and I found a couple.  One is 83.4 grams and the other is 4.6 grams.  I've found meteorites for years on John B's property, but these were not on it.

Thank you, John.

As this meteor was coming in it gained a fushion crust from the heat.  It broke up into many pieces and you can see cracks in this one.  It was down in the redish soil about 4 inches.  I was told other larger meteorites were found in the same area.

I've washed this one off and you can see the partial fusion crust illuminated by the flashlight.  When this one was cleaned I observed some tiny flecks of gold color which I don't remember on other meteorites.  I started that thread first but I'm not able to get a fleck on camera.

This was found with my 7000/15CC X-Coil.  Other magnetic rocks were found in the area but this is a classic meteorite for the area.

Nice finds and great score, in my area I have found only one on a neighbors farm.

Good luck on your next hunt.
