The largest piece was found 20 feet away from the other three large pieces (which were about 3 feet apart). 27 smaller fragments were found within a 75 foot vicinity. When I found the largest piece only a small point of the top was sticking out of the ground. I was pleasantly surprised after I photographed it and dug it up that it was almost 2.5 pounds!! The total weight is 4.69 pounds. I still have to piece together the rest of the fragments. I have taken in situ photos and GPS readings also. I was having difficulty getting a web page up with links so if you would like to view the picture you can download it with this email.
