(meteorobs) Fireball Recoveries?

[Paul Howe]

Hello and please excuse my questions as I am very new at this.

A colleague noticed a fireball strike earth a few days ago and wasn't sure
who to report it to.  After finding the right person, we found out they are
in Australia, but they "suggested" that we go look for it as if we were to
locate it, they are worth quite a bit.

Is any of this true and should I go searching about six square miles for
this?

Thanks for any tips, and please feel free to email me direct.
