You can also use a mathematical approach:
Total finds divided by total time spent then multiply that number by a rating: 10.0 for lunar meteorites 9.0 for Mars . . . 1.0 for Ordinary Chondrites Then take that number and divide it by the total money spent to hunt. Who ever has then highest number is the most successful.
