Hello Serguei and List, The most famous meteorite that fell into a pond or a stock tank is, of course, Pena Blanca Spring. See detailed description in Joel Schiff's METEORITE magazine: Meteorite! (May 2000, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 36-38).
Some of the Siena stones have also been reported to have fallen into a pond: "Two astonished English ladies saw stones fall into a pond and splash out water that appeared to boil." The government had the pond drained and actually recovered some Siena stones [MARVIN U.B. (1996) E.F. Chladni (1756-1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research (Meteoritics 31-5, 1996, 558-561)]. Several Chinga specimens were found in the Chinga River basin. And there is the Djati-Pengilon H6 chondrite which fell into the Alastoeva river. Another celebrity is the Grosnaja CV3 chondrite. A shower of stones fell, after detonations, but only 1 of about 3.5 kg was recovered as the rest fell into the river Terek. Monte Milone, L5, brecciated: After detonations, many stones fell (some in the river Potenza) 8 miles from Macerata, Italy. Seymchan, a IIE iron of 272.3 kg was found in the bed of a stream flowing into the river Hekandue, a tributary of the Jasachnaja. Shirahagi, IVA, mass of 22.7 kg was found in the bed of the Kamiichi- kawa river. Saotome, which is structurally similar, was found in the same river 2 years later.
