Gosh, I would love to go there.
I always thought over the years that I have read about it, that the fragments that were found in 1931 were from the tail of the bolide. Others from Europe confirmed it with some very remarkable discoveries, finding very nice and fresh looking pieces that are much larger than what was originally found. I still think that much more remains to be found. But I can't help you too much as to the original reports, other than the fact that the French army personell reported that the strewnfield was about 800 meters wide, at the location originally reported. I don't think that they investigated any farther than that. So what I would do is find the original center as it realates to the town as it was in 1931, then move out about half a Km and start a circular search pattern with that original strewnfield as the center. Spiral out, and when you find a piece make a note of it and continue on moving ever farther from the original center. When you find another piece, make note of it in relation to the first find you made then refine your search to an area that has lines drawn from the original center to the locations of the two pieces that you found (or hope to find). You should be able to find more between those two pieces and the original center and also most likely in a path leading farther out from the spots indicated on your map. That is how I would do it.
