Sutter Mill Meteorite (original) (raw)

Sutter Mill Meteorite Hunt

Thanks to Richard Garcia for the great photos!

I found some small fragments of the NEW carbonaceous meteorite within minutes of arriving in Coloma, Ca. However, I wasn't expecting what happened while doing this live interview a day later.

While doing this LIVE interview a man approached me and asked if he had found a meteorite.

After telling him that it was indeed a meteorite we talked and I purchased the stone!
