So you’re looking for meteorites, or you want to learn how to find them huh? Well, hopefully this article will help you do just that. I’ve been hunting since August of 2007 and I have found lots of meteorites and added some very nice specimens to my collection. I’ve found literally hundreds of the little space rocks so far!

I was born and raised in the sticks and spent my entire childhood and early adult life stomping around the wilds of Florida so I know a thing or two about hunting, and the outdoors. My dad was a sergeant in the Army and he raised us like little soldiers. He always told my sister and I to “Always Be Prepared”. We spent so much time in the wilderness it was like a second home to us. We would go on hunting trips and survival trips like other people went to the movies. This was great training for meteorite hunting.

Below you'll find a list of reasons why everyone should own a meteorite.
(If you have something to add let me know)

1. It’s A Meteorite! Duh… – A 100% genuine rock from space. How many people can say they own one?

2. Meteorites Are Cool. – It’s just plain cool to own a meteorite. How many other things do you own that are as cool as a rock from space?

3. Meteorites Are Aliens! – They aren’t from here, they’re from 100s of MILLIONS of miles away and have been floating around out in space for many MILLIONS of years just waiting to land on our planet, and end up in your hands.

4. Meteorites Are Great Conversation Pieces. – Put it on your coffee table or on your desk at work and you’ll be amazed at the attention it will draw. People will constantly ask you about it and it give you an excuse to look really smart when you explain how it got here.

5. Chicks Dig Meteorites! – Guys like them too ladies, so don’t get mad for us saying this. The rest is self explanatory.
