The first found fragment, a stone weighing about Шаблон:Convert, was discovered by Sarah Sherlock Шаблон:Convert south of Homestead.[1] The area was wooded and covered by snow, impeding recovery efforts. On 10 February a Шаблон:Convert snowfall blanketed the ground, preventing the great majority of the fragments from being discovered until Spring. The Шаблон:Convert main mass was found along with a Шаблон:Convert fragment buried Шаблон:Convert in the soil.[1]
As of December 2011, approximately Шаблон:Convert has been found.
