43 CFR 8365.1-5

Collection of meteorites is limited to certain public lands. Public
lands closed to casual collection include: developed recreation sites,
certain units of the National Landscape Conservation System, areas
excluded from casual collection in a Land Use Plan such as an Area of
Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) or a wilderness area, and areas
closed by supplemental regulations;

Individuals are limited to collecting what can be easily hand-carried,
up to a maximum of ten pounds of meteorites per individual, per year;
Only surface collection of meteorites using non-motorized and
non-mechanical equipment is allowed (metal detectors may be used); and

Casually-collected meteorites are for personal use only, and may not be
bartered or sold for commercial purposes.
