Build a meteor collection, literally from your garden or gutter...

I learned many years ago that Earth receives about 6000kg of micrometeorites a day, working out to about one per square meter per year. But I had always assumed it was a hopeless task to collect and detect them from every day dust and pollution.

It turns out I was wrong: With a strong magnet, enough time, dedication, and the expertise to spot a micrometeorite, it can be done, and a scientist working in Norway has found around 500 suspected and 48 confirmed micrometeorites lurking in people's gutters. He's published the results of electron microscope and WDX analysis of what was found, here

An urban collection of modern-day large micrometeorites: Evidence for variations in the extraterrestrial dust flux through the Quaternary

Abstract
We report the discovery of significant numbers (500) of large micrometeorites (>100 μm) from rooftops in urban areas. The identification of particles as micrometeorites is achieved on the basis of their compositions, mineralogies, and textures. All particles are silicate-dominated (S type) cosmic spherules with subspherical shapes that form by melting during atmospheric entry and consist of quench crystals of magnesian olivine, relict crystals of forsterite, and iron-bearing olivine within glass. Four particles also contain Ni-rich metal-sulfide beads. Bulk compositions are chondritic apart from depletions in the volatile, moderately volatile, and siderophile elements, as observed in micrometeorites from other sources. The reported particles are likely to have fallen on Earth in the past 6 yr and thus represent the youngest large micrometeorites collected to date. The relative abundance ratio of barred olivine to cryptocrystalline spherule types in the urban particles of 1.45 is shown to be higher than a Quaternary average of ∼0.9, suggesting variations in the extraterrestrial dust flux over the past 800 k.y. Changes in the entry velocities of dust caused by quasi-periodic gravitational perturbation during transport to Earth are suggested to be responsible. Variations in cosmic spherule abundance within the geologic column are thus unavoidable and can be a consequence of dust transport as well as major dust production events.:

It gives us all hope...
Many years ago I applied for [and very correctly failed to get] a job with the BAS searching for meteorites in Antarctica. It looked like a great job, but for some reason, they wanted someone with real qualifications and the right experience.
Off to buy extra strong magnates to hand around the house...
