GRIZ 3,369 Posted February 18, 2023 3 hours ago, silverado427 said: Finders keepers or does big brother have ownership This is what I know about collecting meteorites. In the US, if it lands on your land it's yours. If it lands on someone else's land and you find it, it's between you and the landowner. If it lands on Federal land, you are allowed to collect 10 pounds of meteorites a year. Being they're mostly iron that's not a lot. If that meteorite landed on private land the landowner can get some serious bucks selling it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
