We would go to gem and mineral shows together and look at all of the spectacular specimens. Later as an adult, our family often incorporated some kind of rock hounding in our vacations. We hunted for fossil fish in Wyoming, trilobites in Utah and Herkimer diamonds in New Jersey. This was something everyone in our family could do with really equal chances of success regardless of age. There is a sense of discovery when you find something that no man has ever seen before. In 2011, there was a witnessed meteorite fall near Sutter’s Mill in California. It was a large fireball and the speeding meteorite fragments appeared on weather radar, so there was good definition for where to look for meteorites on the ground. My brother and I went up to Lotus, an unincorporated community in El Dorado County, and searched for a couple days, but we did not find anything. Many people did find meteorites from that fall, however, and this sparked my interest in meteorite hunting.
