Mom Stumbles Onto Meteorite Worth About $20,000

That gem from outer space was found at the Lotus park where Brenda, her kids and her collie come to nearly every day.... Meteorites landed in California’s Gold Country several days ago, creating a modern day gold rush.... Geologists, treasure hunters and scientists all took a look at Brenda’s find. “As I opened my hand, there was a huge gasp,” she said. Scientists have told her what she had in her hands could be 4 to 6 billion years old.
