Finding one is not likely unless you spend a lot of time searching. I bought one from a guy that came and talked to our Astronomy club at the local planetarium. He discussed how to know the difference from a rock and a meteorite. It is cool to own a hunk of metallic material that is billions of years old from and not from Earth. It is truly extraterrestrial. Mine is pretty small, a little smaller than a golf ball. Big ones are expensive.

Adam Savage had a recent build on his show "Savage Builds" where he forged a sword from a meteorite. It was an interesting episode.
