Larry,
It has been 41 years since, and I can remember it
well, and that is amazing. To have had the details
confirmed recently by Jeff Wark is even more amazing.
Had that stone wall been there, and not demolished in
road widening, I am sure Jeff would have found a nice
15 lb or so, stone meteorit
Steve, List,
Thanks for retelling that account, It's a fascinating example of the human experience, and proves that meteorites may be found hiding right in front of us!

Stu,

there...somewhere.
Keep on keepin' on,

Hi Mark,
Well, *my* meteorite hunting - up here in the Lake District in the north of England - consists of checking each and every dry stone wall (not just Hadrian's) whenever I'm out walking or hiking. Always have a magnet on me, and my digital camera so I'm ready to document any possible suspect
I'm sure some of the UK folks will chime in on this, but I believe that
Hadrian's wall largely follows the course of the Great Whin Sill (a
