Joe Kershner from IL would be a good choice. He is local, he is determined
and didn't he find his Mifflin stone with a metal detector under a bridge!
Hey Joe, are you out near Jacksonville already? I bet he finds one!
Best regards,
Greg

Hi Richard, I agree to a point...
I bet if the Claxton meteorite was found on radar people would be
jumping all over it and that fell 26 years ago. Point being, time on the
ground doesn't matter as much as location. A good majority of the stones
might be plowed under in the 3 years, but a good metal detector would
suffice, and there's always going to be material on or near the surface
outside the farm fields. It may not be worth it to travel 200 miles for
though for a weathered ordinary chondrite, I get that, but it's still
scientifically important.
This meteorite, if recovered, is still a witnessed fall, valuable to
science in that it proves archived radar is a valuable tool to the
science, and it's collectibility will be there as well. Especially if
only a few pieces are recovered.
Someone close by the area might do well going out there and talking to
landowners to gain permission to look around a bit. It won't hurt and
there's meteorites that can be found.
Regards,
Eric

Not that I am taking anything away from Marc's efforts, but if the stones
have been the ground that long, I'd suspect that most have been plowed
under several times and become well weathered. That might explain why
there hasn't been any discussion so far.

Looks good! Good work Marc. Funny how
all the so called meteorite people
don't have a comment in 10 whole hours since your post. No
yay, no
nay... Just silence... LOL Maybe they're all packing
they're bags or
maybe already be in the field out there searching... ;)

Eric

Howdy all,
I'm quite pleased with this
one. Looks like a very nice meteorite fall from recent
radar data archives:
