7.1 grams. L4
TKW 8.35 kg. Fall not observed. Found 1972, Logan County, Arkansas, USA.
From the MetBul:
A single 8.346 kg stone was found by Daniel Michaelson, a 12-year-old boy, while hunting for arrowheads with his father.
  
Bernd writes:
When Allen Shaw stopped for gas and coffee at a small filling station in Arkansas many years ago, he approached a group of deer hunters and showed them a 3 kg individual of the Eads, Colorado chondrite. One of the hunters, named Danny Michaelson, remembered that he had found such a stone when he was 12 years old and that this stone, although rusty colored now, was still in his possession. Shaw asked him to break off a thumbnail-sized piece and mail it to him so that he could have a look at it. When a 180 gram "chip" arrived in the mail, Shaw instantly realized this was a genuine chondrite. |

Great story Bernd, to me a lot of the stories associated with the find/falls are just as interesting as the Meteorites themselves.
