Bike on Lake A Cane is all you need to start hunting for meteorites! Before you go though, make sure you are well prepared (water, food, GPS, maps, first aid, radio, etc.), know the area, and always avoid going alone. *Key Rule: bring lots of water! - Check out the latest eBay auctions & you may just find that special stone! Be careful though and always try to buy from a reputable dealer. imca The IMCA is an organization that was founded to promote self monitoring amoung meteorite collectors and their seal on an auction provides some piece of mind.
