Hi All,
A fun story but a couple of corrections are in order: The Maine Mineral and
Gem Museum is not interested in purchasing this iron which did not—from all
appearances—arrive in the 1930s.
Have a great weekend.

Hey list,
A 22-pound rock that has been propping open a door in Michigan for decades
turns out to be a meteorite valued at $100,000, according to Central
Michigan University.

Wow, thank you everyone so much for your replies. It is incredible how many of
you did so. I learned a little something different from all of the replies and
will be sharing the more accessible information with my daughter. This is a
great online community! Greg

Hi Greg,
Great thing to do with your daughter...sorry you did not find
anything...I'd say it's still worth going back and having another go...wish
I was as close.
To answer a few questions... The larger pieces would probably bury
themselves more but nearly all meteorites loose all there energy
Greg,
A lot will depend on the weight of the impacting object of course; for
example the main mass of the 1813 Limerick Meteorite weighed 65 pounds and
buried itself two feet into the ground. The meteorite will generally be
travelling at a speed of between 200 and 400 mph when it hits the
Greg, since fresh meteorites are black they will absorb heat from the
sun and warm enough to melt their way into snow or ice. You can
search for example of this with Tagish Lake and Buzzard Coulee, for
example.
Sounds like a fun hunt!
Michael in so. Cal.
Hello all!
I sent a post in a few days ago but I think I caused confusion by sending it
via my other email address that was not the one I registered with. Let's see
if this works better.
My 7 year old daughter begged me to take her meteorite hunting after I picked
her up form school this past
