Well, most recently the two Annama meteorites so far found were located
primarily based on photographic evidence (i.e. "modern fancy equipment")
in pretty difficult and remote terrain, precisely within the predicted
area for fragments of the sizes found. So hardly naught.

As high resolution cameras are getting very affordable now, we should
see more successful recoveries. I think it boils down to having enough
people to set up and maintain such cameras, and to write better
software. This is perfect for citizen science.
