Most meteors contain large amounts of metal and stone. So if you find rock that lights up a metal detector its a meteor. As to what meteor that can only be done by where its found, say a big debris field from a certain meteor and astroid. Or a chemical analysis can tell you what meteors match each other vs ones that are slightly different. But rule of thumb is you look for rocks that light up a metal detector. Lakes and dry lakes are good places to look. Here in FL Lake Ockachobee is a crater. Only problem in FL is since meteors are so dense and heavy they sink fast here. Where up north where you have hard ground they get pushed up.Hmm, before I go out and lavish my entire life savings on a few chunks of "meteorite", I wonder how I can ascertain that the rocks I acquire for my collection are indeed from Pluto, as opposed to being mere gravel gathered from a Russian roadside by an opportunistic entrepreneur.
Maybe:Can you buy bits of it on ebay yet?
