A single mass of 57.9 kg was found in a landfill at Julesburg.

individuals have spalled during ablative flight

Thank you Bernd.
According to "Meteorites from A to Z" and Blaine Reed, there is more.
So I just called Blaine, who was watching the snow fall, and he told me he
believes that about half a dozen small individuals have been found in the area
by the local farmers over the years.
Maybe more will show up in the future.
