A hunt in the fall region, one can forget. Tightest vegetation and full of hot rocks. Oliver hunted for 3 months with a detector, digging hundreds of holes - the result was: 2 stones. The larger is the 70g for sale.

Bob's "Field Guide of Meteorites" (1991 edition) shows an image of a nice, fusion crusted stone with a cut face, described as "682 grams: 90 x 60 x 80mm". Apparentls, the entry in Jörn's metbase refers to that. The 1997 edition shows the very same image, but the weight is now listed as 683 grams - it get's heavier with time... :-) Both editions note: "...fell in 1982 near the so-calles 'Golden Triangle' region of northern Thailand, making it an interesting place for a meteorite hunt. (...sure you're looking for rocks from the sky. Now up against the wall, Yankee...)" Bob's 2003 booklet "The Robert Haag Collection of Meteorites" shows apparently the same stone. In the meantime, apparently a few more slices have been cut off, and the specimen is now listed as 619g. The booklet says that "this is the largest recovered stone", which is apparently not quite correct, as Martin noted a "there is a 2.5kg stone in the Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok". Certainly a nice fall with nice specimens...
