How To Find Meteorites
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!

This was great training for meteorite hunting.

What do I love about meteorites? Short quick and dirty answer, EVERYTHING!
The long answer... I love meteorites because of what they are, what they mean, and where they come from. I love meteorites because they are part of something way bigger than I am but I can hold them in the palm of my hand. I love meteorites because they make me wonder more about the origins of EVERYTHING!
