Dear List,A few people on here already know, But on 4-9-2011 I found my 
1st meteorite here in Butler county Ohio.(very oriented, thumb 
printed)  On the 11th I had a job interview and got hired on the spot 
after being laid off for some time.(Talk about finding your lucky 
star)Then on 4-16-2011, I find a broken fragment of a second chondrite 
on the same farm, which is sitting on a glacier morian.Both of these 
are so different, But they are chondrites.  In the past month I find 5 
other stones that look like they could be Achondrites, (will post 
later)I have no interest in selling meteorites, I think these should go 
to our local Geology museum which has a cool meteorite display.6 yeras 
I was on a mission to find a meteorite, I think now it is complete. I 
found these out side the small town where I grew - upThese would be the 
1st chondrites found in Butler county Ohio. The only other meteorite 
found here is the Fairfeld meteorite (iron)If all the other suspect 
stones turn out to be meteorites also, then a few miles north of  where 
the last glacier ended in ohio, Indiana and Illinoise is where 
meteorite hunters should be looking. I think the sandy-gravel soil 
drains water quickly, and meteorites may be perserved longer then 
people think. Also I have found 40+ artifacts since april, this farm I 
had found artifacts 25 years ago. will post them also. The soil is only 
8-10 deep on the glacial morian, 5 paleo points have found here, I 
found 3 of them, Most of the artifacts are Adena Mound builder 
material.But here is the albums of the two meteorites.Dave Myers1st
