Many meteorites strike Earth every year.
It's thought that there are 7,500 meteorites a year over the entire land area of Earth. And remember, once they fall, these meteorites generally don't go anywhere. Experts estimate that there might be something like a hundred ancient and new meteorites for every square kilometer on Earth. People pick up meteorites all the time. A dry lake bed is another good place to look.
