Minerals, Rocks and Fossils

[nachoman]

A rock-hounding buddy of mine used to take metal detectors out into an area of public land that is known for iron meteorite fragments. Someone had given him the metal detector as a gift, and the first time he went out he found a softball sized meteorite within a few minutes. I was quite jealous! A few years later, he went out with another friend of ours to the same area, and hauled out a meteorite fragment that was somewhere around 80 lbs!!
