Summer search finds fun, but no meteorites Two meteorite searches of Eastern Washington turned up plenty of summer fun, but no space treasures. About 30 participants joined UW Professor Tony Irving on the outings. The searchers concentrated their efforts in a field in the Waterville area not far from where two of the five known Washington meteorites were found. The search area lies along the terminal moraine that marks the southern limit of the glacial ice that covered parts of the state during the last ice age.
