Hi, According to what I have read the date is correct. "22 rounded bead-like objects of strongly oxidized meteoritic iron were found in an Indian burial mound. The material was worked by Indians of the Hopewellian culture into a number of ornamental beads, R.M.Grogan, American Antiquity, 1948, 13, p.302"

I am currently researching falls in Illinois and Florida, and I ran across this goofy typographical error. Or is there some other reason for this oddball date? http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php?code=11857 Regards and clear skies, MikeG .........................................................
