Hello,
 
Sorry if I missed something, and I am not on Facebook, but.............
Dave, are you absolutely sure that those are really meteorites?
Did you have them classified by an experienced, qualified lab?
It might be an idea to make absolutely sure before you invest a lot more
time, equipment,...... etc
Glacial moraines can move around, and contain all kinds of rocks. Besides
meteorites.
Just a thought!

That was my thought as well. There seem to be parallels here between the
Muonionlusta field, which has been relocated by glacier, and the stones you
are finding. Are they in terminal moraines, or individuals in fields? There
is a reason why Moraine, OH was named that!

Best!
