KRING D.A. et al. (1998) Gold Basin Meteorite Strewn Field: The Fossil remnants of an asteroid that catastrophically fragmented in Earths atmosphere (Lunar and Planetary Science XXIX, 1998, excerpts):
The Gold Basin meteorite was discovered by J.D. Kriegh while prospecting for gold with a metal detector on 24 November 1995 in the eastern portion of the Mojave Desert. The initial find consisted of two fragments (about 13 g total mass) which were immediately identified as meteoritic material by one of us ... >From the morphology of the fragments, it was clear that they were part of a >larger object. Subsequent field studies by Kriegh, J. Blennert, I. Monrad, ... >have recovered more than 2000 fragments as of January 1998. Most of these >fragments were found using metal detecting techniques ...
