So am I. Baffled, dumbfounded, paralyzed, awed ...
Sincere congrats!!!
> Steve, I am amazed and how did you know it was way down there?
Steve probably smelled it ;-)
"The find, at 1,400 pounds, beats the next largest Brenham found by
Stockwell in 1949 (1,000 lbs) and therefore becomes the main mass."

There is a color picture of the 1,002-pound mass in Sky & Telescope,
August 1979, p. 128 (photograph was taken by Merlin Peck) and the
caption says:
This 454.5 kilogram (1,002-pound) pallasite meteorite was discovered
in 1948, buried under 63 inches of soil near Greensburg, Kansas.
I have a scanned JPEG of this photograph. In case someone is interested,
email me and I'll send it to you.
Droolin' on,
Bernd
