| Use a metal detector

Oh, Outback!!
Art,
Nickel and iron are common to most meteorites. Nickel is in it's native state and that's rarely found in terrestrial rocks. Meteorites are tricky as some are mainly stone. The best places to find them in the US are Kansas, Texas, Arizona and the Mojave desert, but they fall everywhere. We were discussing the fellow from KS finding them in the Fossils, Meteorites, Rocks & Gems section under Collector's Corner. He was pulling some type of metal detector behind a four wheeler when he found one earlier this year and ground penetrating radar for the most recent one.
You should look at the main page of this website as Christian has my old buddy, the late Lee Franzen's home page there and he used a LRL to find them.
I've been trying to find meteorites map dowsing, but I'm a rookie. A LRL would probably be better. I don't have one. If you use a sample, you might want to try collecting tiny meteorites from roof gutters as they accumulate there over a period of time.
Their value is equivalent to gold and there's definitely an interest and market for them. Here's a web site to get you started.

Good luck! There's more meteor-wrongs than meteorites. Sue
