In 1931 Frank Johnson sent a 102 pound iron Meteorite to the Smithsonian and received $102. I live in Osseo so I searched out Franks daughter. She told me that 2 old guys were blueberry picking when they came across the iron and the dent it made it the rock it hit. The 2 guys dragged it to the Osseo general store and that’s where Frank found it being used as a door stop. She also told me exactly where they found it so that’s where I've been hunting for 5 or 6 years now. So far I have not found any more but giving up is not a option, and believe me, if I do find anything it will not be kept a secret.
