That is the method I have always used in finding
meteorites, and since the town has grown as much as
you say, then the meteorites would still be in the
town or the strewnfield is larger than the town. In
either case, meteorites can be found using this
method, (If the townspeople will allow it) or one can
still go outside of town and try to locate larger
pieces (f the townspeople living in the town will
allow it.

And another possibility comes to my mind... Contact
townspeople about the meteorites and see what they can
find.
