I've just returned from a new fall. It looked like
everyone missed this fall, so I went.
I spent 2 weeks down there hunting down stones, and
canvasing the area house by house. Its mainly
agricultural land and dominated by vineyards.
Unfortunately, there is never plowing in vineyards,
so no more stones will be found. (maybe 1 or 2 in
the coming years) Most of my time was spent in
public outreach and teaching people how to identify
stones.
TKW is 5 kg at this time. I recovered 2.3kg. Looks
like an H4 or H5 Ordinary Chondrite.
Conditions were not good for recovery, almost all
stones punched into the soft ground 1/4 meters.
Those stones that were recovered were because they
hit near someone or hit a road.

I've got to get my saw up and running and cut
specimens in the next few days. I'll post more
details later.
Anyone want to guess which country the fall was in?
