From Buchwald:
A mass of 1,387 g was found in 1920 on the surface in the southwestern portion of Sioux County, about 16 miles north of Morrill. It was recognized as a meteorite in 1933 by Nininger, while he was making a survey of the Sioux County shower of stones that fell August 8, 1933 (Nininger 1933a; A.D. Nininger 1937; Nininger & Nininger 1950: 114, plate 17). Nininger acquired the whole mass and gave a photomacrograph of the exterior.

Yes John, Nininger was very good at recovering meteorites, by "recognizing" them in the piles of rocks that farmers FOUND in their fields. |

Yes John, Nininger was good at finding those things hiding way out in the country. |

This one is rare and has a very low TKW for an iron find. |
