All,

The place on I-40 is called "Stewart's" http://www.meteoritesco.com/
In 1998, as I recall they did have Canyon Diablos as well as other
irons. However, more recently the meteorites are all Campo's and only
the names have changed.

If you have lots of experience with irons it is often very easy to
tell the difference without cutting. Although I don't think I could
describe how to do so in words.

Stewart was the original owner but was later sold to an African
American couple. They now sell everything from meteorites to
ostriches!

I remember her telling me to put a magnet on a stick and search- she even gave me a magnet.? She also gave me a small piece of this iron-shale stuff she said was from the crater.? She even told me the area to search.? I stopped a few places but only looked a little, as I needed to get to CA.? Again this was in 1997.
