Hi Dave, Unfortunately, I'm not seeing any mention of either meteorite in the Meteorical Bulletin database, so those two "meteorites" were probably never proven to be real meteorites.

Wondering if anyone has any info on a Maine coastal double meteorite "find" at Round Pond, Maine, that occurred several years ago? Seems a lobsterman was hauling his lobster boat up the public boat ramp and out of the water for the winter season, back in 1953. Happening to glance down at the ground at his feet and spied a 5 lb. 10 oz. meteorite quietly sunning itself on the rocky beach. A remarkable find and made all the more remarkable, perhaps, by the fact that the same lobsterman, 16 years later in 1969, hauling the same boat out of the same harbor, at the same public boat ramp, glanced down at his feet and found another meteorite, a 6 lb. 4 oz. beauty sunning itself, as well, midst the great slabs of metamorphosed granite and gneiss. Maine's only double meteorite find. I am trying to find-out what type and classification those two coastal sun bathing lobster loving meteorites are (were) and their eventual fate. Anyone knows the ultimate disposition of these two missing Maine lobsterized meteorites, please pass the butter, and let me know. Thanks.
