NASA VOLENTEERS FIND THIS BEAUTY

A team Of Nasa Volunteers have found the biggest meteorite yet from the Sutters Mill Fireball.

Word has it only less than 150 grams have been found so far. Mainly within 1 mile of Sutter’s Mill in Coloma. I went out with NASA research team 1.2 miles south of the park in Lotus and one of the volunteers found this beauty.  As you see it was in wet soil and was fine.  I dont think the rain has dampened the search much.  The big ones are yet to be found on mainly private loand West of Lotus. I drove along the Dobbler line 5miles to the river and found nothing near the road.  It’s all private land. But on the West side of the river there is public land to search near Cronan Ranch. That is again 5 miles from the Mill. The name of the fall is now Sutter’s Mill until it is official.
