Vol. 10 No. 2) No others were found till Mike Miller found 3 small pieces one year later in Oct 2003. (See Meteorite Mag. Volume 10 No. 3)Mike and I worked quietly for several months cleaning out the small side of the strewn field till January 2003 when our secret leaked out at the Tucson Gem And Mineral show. We continued working the strewn field for months and eventually found several other meteorites which are still being classified. Franconia is classified as an H-5 chondrite. Hope this helps.
