Large Meteorite Found In Kiowa County
January 11- A Kiowa County field again serves as the site of a large meteorite.
Steve Arnold has spent the past two months searching the Kiowa County farmland, and Tuesday his hard work paid off.
The first dig only unearthed a piece of scrap metal. After the second dig Arnold found what he was after-- A large palisite. A meteorite with precious gemstones inside. A collector's dream. "There are some that are more beautiful than others. this one has character that's a bonus, a plus," Arnold said.
Landowner Ron Ross flew back from vacation in Florida to watch Tuesday's dig.
This isn't Arnold's first find on the property. Last fall he found a 1500 pound rock worth more than a million dollars.
The latest find weighs in at 81 pounds. Arnold plans to sell it.
