Imilac
  
Imilac was found in 1822 in the Atacama Desert, Atacama, Chile.  Numerous masses, large and small, have been removed over the years.   The largest individual found weighed 450 pounds.  I made a trip to the Imilac strewnfield in late April 2000 and can say first-hand that there is very little material left to be found.  Systematic searching with ATV's using high-tech metal detecting has pretty much cleaned out the area.  Imilac is classified as a Pallasite.
