[meteorite-list] Meteorite finding - map

Hola J.J., Welcome !!  It is great to have  you here...

Maybe this map will help for an  orientation:

It  comes from this page, where you can see the official names of all 13 from 
 Indiana on the map, and click on them to see a picture of the individual  
meteorites to get an idea of what to look for, even if they are a lot more  
weathered after the years on(in) the  ground:

And  with the official names, you can go to the fantastic website Dr. 
Grossman has  set up, and get the best available summaries of most of them, along 
with the  best available latitude and longitude coordinates, and a better map 
with the  Google link provided:
http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php

And  then come back to the list to share what you come up with!

Saludos,  Doug

hello, I live in southern Indiana; and I'm new to  this discussion/interest, 
and have never tried looking for meteorites.   Have any meteorites been found 
in Indiana before?  Does a map exist such as  one of the google maps that 
might show where meteorites have been found  before??
I found one such similar google map a few days ago, that showed all  the 
reported sightings of UFO's on a google map of the United States.  No,  I'm not 
interested UFO's; but only happened upon the map.
Thanks.
