That's true, but people routinely recover meteorites that have been on the ground for longer than that. And not all of the apparent strewn field area is farmland - there is a fairly large amount of wooded area there that has not been plowed.

One of the things that I find amusing about the Meteorite List is that when there is the real possibility that there are meteorites to be found, the list tends to go silent! I don't have a comment on that other than to say that it makes me chuckle.

Cheers,
Marc Fries
