Febuary Eighth TwentyEleven a farm man and his two sons and grandson was constructing their land in Woodleaf a town In Davison County North Carolina, they was bulldozering for they're new tractor shed, only 1 foot in the ground they hit a huge boulder, a 8,469 pound boulder! They checked the boulder out after noticing rusty crystal like patterns striping down the sides of it like racing stripes of rust, the grandson said he was studying rocks like this in science class at school he said if a magnet sticks to it he was sure it would be a meteorite, the magnet stuck to the enormus boulder, still unsure if it was a meteorite the ten year old boy takes pictures of the boulder and took a small sample of it and showed it to his science teacher, the scince teacher sent the sample and pictures to the Science Center At Duke University. Sure Enough The Boulder One Foot In The Ground Was A 573,777 year old meteorite! It was the biggest Meteorite found in history, Nobody outside of the state knows about the discovery cause the family wanted this a secret between the people that knows because of personal and privacy matters. Duke University bought the meteorite from the family for an even $9,500,000 witch is Nine Million Fivehundred Thousand Dallors. We don't have any pictures of the meteorite because of privacy. The farmer says that he rememberd the boulder sticking out of the ground a little when he was a young boy but he and his father thought nothing of it.
