Jason writes:
Here is Gold Basin, Nevada meteorite. Found by Jason Snyder on March 7, 2015, in the Nevada desert, Gold Butte area. This meteorite weighs 11.6 lbs as a main piece, and 12.2 lbs with surrounding pieces. Jason was metal detecting for meteorites when he found a small fragment, a few feet from the main piece after only a day and a half hunting for meteorites. This meteorite is consistent with those found in the southern Gold Basin strewn field and within the acceptable projected flight path.

Jason stated, " This was a find of a lifetime, and he couldn't have been happier than with this piece." Hard work and persistence paid off for finding this piece.
