The Guy Who Found a $24 Million Meteorite — and Used It as a Doorstop

For 30 years, he kicked a fortune every time he went home.

In Michigan, a farmer used a heavy metal rock to prop open his barn door.

When a geology professor finally checked it, she nearly dropped it.

It was a meteorite, 88% iron, and one of the largest ever found in the region — valued at over $24 million.

The farmer had been stepping over it for decades.

When asked how he felt, he said:

“Guess I had space money all along.”
