another problem with finding lunar or any meteorite in north and south america is the mostly wet environment. AS any treasure hunter can confirm.objects at first on the surface are quickly burried if they are not burried by the impact. Coins lost 50 years ago are usually found 8to 10 inches deep. So without erosion or human activities like farming exposing them. There are few places to find any meteorites. Some day every class of meteorite will have been found everywhere. We just have to keep looking and have fun doing it. Cheers Steve
