I found this meteorite on April 1, 2017.

I saw some good looking ground so I stopped to take a look and within about an hour I found this stone. I didn't have a scale cube or my GPS so I collected the stone, went home and made a cut, confirming a meteorite, then went back the next day to document it properly. When I returned the second day I was surprised to find an arrowhead within just a few feet of the meteorite! I nearly stepped on it. It can be seen in the 4th image.

It's getting too hot down here for my northern blood so I'm headed back to Michigan for the Summer and I'll have to pick up the hunt when I return in the Fall. Hey Robert, thanks for reminding me of that! Great memories...
