I found one with my grandfather down near Tucson once - small, a little larger than a golfball (maybe 1 1/2 golf balls) - I lost it in the move from Houston to Phoenix. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

yeah, I found one!!! The thing to look for is something that looks way, way, out of place. The one I found was the only metallic (nickel) rock next to a wash. It's my most treasured find. I usually look for jasper and obsidian, as well as petrified wood when I'm exploring the BLM lands surrounding our property up north. _________________ Your life is dyed the color of your imagination |

A friend of mine found one once and traded it with a guy at NAU for a laptop. I guess they are pretty valuable. _________________

I have never found one, but I was given one years ago. It's a piece of the one from Metoer Crater. It was given to me by one of my dads freinds. He would go out and search for them. _________________ Mountains are there to be climbed!

IT has been my ultimate dream to find a meteor.... Not just find, but to see it hit, then go get it. To think, that only God has touched it aside from myself.. treasure indeed!
I also have a piece of meteorite oxide from the the big crater up north...
its not the same tho. |
