[meteorite-list] Hilly billy vs flat land jokes

[Dave Freeman mjwy]

Dear List;
I have been recently pondering some areas with steep inclines that erode 
faster than the flats below them. I guess the sides of the ridges are at 
a 45 degree X 400 foot elevation.  I keep going back to the thought that 
anything having fallen in the past century or so would have eroded out 
of the hill sides (top 1-4 feet) and would be at the bottom of the 
washes and exposed on the surface. I go back to the thought that instead 
of wandering around on the flats looking at the surface (and obviously 
not swinging my detector over miles of country) that my best odds would 
be walking the base of the erosional steep embankments to see what has 
rolled down off the eroding hill sides.
Is there any method to my madness or should I pack up and move to Kansas?
Best,
Dave F.
