[meteorite-list] What is the largest single lunar mass?

[Swan Valley Bushcraft]

Since the moon is nearby (about as far away as the mileage many drivers
have on their cars) and is throughly covered in craters, frankly I’m
surprised we are not flush with large lunar rocks almost everywhere we
look. So to me it seems odd that we are not finding more large lunar
stones. Maybe we are missing the forest for the trees?

Oh, and while we’re on it, anyone else out there remember DaG 262? I paid
$30k/g! Now those were the days.
