In the early September 2004, We go near Boudnib (Morocco) to try to recover the coordinates of the NWA 1760 (eucrite).
At first, we meet the nomad who finds regularly small fresh eucrites in the region of Boudnib in Morocco. This one teaches us that he was the witness of the fall of this meteorite. He saw an intense light enlighten the inside of his house in cob and heard a strong explosion. Regrettably, he does not know when it arrived and can just clarify us that it was some years ago. Not knowing either his date of birth or that of his children, he does not possess a mark in the time. A certain fact is that these eucrites are very fresh and that the fall is recent. This one drives us then to the place of the discovery of some of these small eucrites.
