Don't dismiss it so lightly - this is indeed how some big meteorites have been found, by people literally tripping over them sticking out of the ground. The one near Frankston (SE of Melbourne), the Cranbourne meteorite, was found this way. The big bits from the Mundrabilla fall on the Nullabor were also dug up - I've seen the photos taken by one of the people on the recovery mission. Quite a job that was!
I'll keep an open mind on this one until Bobbyoutback can find it again and confirm yes/no.
