Where can you search for Meteorites in the Bay Area?

Answer 1

Meteorites can, potentially, be found anywhere. Ideally you want to comb a nice open area where there would be some degree of color contrast to make a brown-black meteorite visible. For a better chance of actually finding one, consult books or websites and see if there are any strewn fields in your area, (lists are maintained of every known meteorite fall) then, assuming they're irons, buy and use a good quality metal detector. Consult your local universities geology/astronomy department for advice. Understand the property laws and legal issues in your area as well. On public land, you might own anything you find, but you'll have to cut a deal with the owner on private land.
