Actually, my home state rare ataxite Willow Grove was also
ploughed up. It even has the plough marks across the surface. If I'm not
mistaken, I think Richfield was also found the same way!
Start ploughing in the holidays folks,
P.S. Hey Sterling; maybe you could start ploughing the Dry
Lakes! Double the chance then?!? ;-)

Finds Meteorite While Picking Butter Beans
Hi,
Maybe the real moral is that, if
we want to find meteorites, we should
pick more butter
beans.
A lot of things turn up (literally) in a freshly
plowed field: indian
artifacts, glacial stones... One of Illinois' eight
meteorites was found
that way (WOODBINE).
I read
enviously of the dry lakes when all I have about me is plowed
fields. It's
nice to know you could find a meteorite in one.
