After much work and the combined efforts of countless meteorite hunters, collectors, dealers and scientist’s data. The Wisconsin Meteorite Strewnfield Map is done (more coordinates will be added as they come in). This is a work in progress.
AUTHORS NOTE: Do not hunt on landowners land without gaining permission to hunt FIRST!

What is A Meteorite Strewnfield?
To understand what a meteorite strewn field is you must first understand what a meteorite is and how it ends up on the Earth.
Meteorites are fragments of asteroids and meteoroids which have impacted the Earth. This debris, at one time was floating around the solar system orbiting the Sun. Most of [...]

The Lorton Meteorite ownership battle is heating up like the big finale in Star Wars. Except this “star war” is over a little black rock! In my opinion this whole issue is moot. This meteorite ownership fight is becoming more of a PR war than a legal battle. Yet the war rages on in the [...]
We are star dust! From the dust whence we came… For the first time, scientists have discovered a massive star around which exists a huge ring of dust. It’s called a protoplanetary disk and it’s where planets and ultimately how entire solar systems are formed. It’s where life itself starts with the birth of a [...]

Would you believe our planet is made up of meteorites? The Earth is one big conglomeration of space debris collected over billions of years of Solar System formation starting with the birth of our Sun, and the formation of the Protoplanetary Disk around it.
In fact every planet that exists is made up of meteorites. Well, [...]

Earth is saved! Again… It seems our Grandfather planet Jupiter has saved Earth from certain annihilation yet again. An invisible threat made itself visible on June 3rd when a rogue asteroid slammed into Jupiter and created a brilliant explosion visible from the relative safety of our own home planet.

To all Meteorite Enthusiasts, Astronomy Buffs, Scientists & Educators, I’m proud to announce and invite you to take part in the premier of the Meteorite Hunting & Collecting Magazine. This meteorite related magazine is a bi-monthly print magazine focusing [...]
In the past couple few years while I’ve been studying meteorites, strewnfields, fireballs, and new meteorite falls, I’ve caught a LOT of flak from people. You would be amazed at the nastygrams and rude emails I’ve received over the past 3 years telling me I couldn’t hunt, that I don’t know anything about meteorites, that [...]

Brix is his name, a meteorite hunting German Shepard owned by meteorite hunter extraordinaire Sonny Clary. Brix is now the worlds first “trained meteorite dog” to have found a meteorite! It seems meteorite finding dogs are becoming popular! Little over a year ago the world was introduced to “Hopper” the meteorite finding dog in West [...]
Meteorites everywhere! The MASSIVE fireball on Wednesday last week on April 14th dropped lots of meteorites on the ground near Livingston WI. Meteorite hunters from all over the country have flocked to the area in search of meteorites. Many of my friends are there now and they’re finding meteorites. I’m on my way, and hope [...]
A common myth about meteorites impacting Earth as a flaming missile, exploding in a massive fireball rocketing shrapnel pieces for miles around while blasting a huge crater in the ground is just that, a myth. While it’s possible for a large asteroid to hold it’s cosmic velocity all the way to the ground, most meteorites [...]
Well folks, we have another great prospect for a new USA meteorite fall! Reports are coming in that say a possible meteorite may have impacted in Louisiana! A large fireball was witnessed from several states including Mississippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana. We’re of course investigating and will have updates as they come in. Below are some [...]
There is a debate going on in the USA right now over whether or not it’s ok to hunt meteorites on federal land anymore. Though this is not new information, it seems the increased popularity of meteorites through greater publicity and most probably a greater number of inquiries to the BLM (BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT) [...]

Point being I’ve proposed this idea to many meteorite hunters and they think it’s a good idea. An organization that works closely with scientists, institutions, universities, labs, museums, private collectors etc. An organization with a common mission to provide scientific data [...]

Over the last 3 years I’ve had the priveledge of meeting and hunting with some of the worlds most professional and influential meteorite hunters. I call many of them friends and have gained a great respect and admiration for those that are able to “get out there” and hunt for meteorites in the heat of [...]
This just in…
“…The city-size asteroid that slammed into Earth with the force of a million nuclear bombs is what snuffed out the dinosaurs and half of all other species on Earth 65 million years ago, an international group of scientists who reviewed all available evidence said today…”
It seems a new study has re-confirmed the theory [...]
