Looking 1930-40's Meteorite location ( California )

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for the approximate location of a 1930-40's meteorite impact somewhere in the Chocolate/Chuckwalla Mts... This is a clue for a gold legend I'm following, I'm not looking for the exact location but if I can I'd like to get as close as I can. I do understand that some people would not want to divulge their spots, so if you like, please just send me a PM all info will be held confidential.... I thank you in advance....

Try searching at:

If pieces of this have been recovered, this database would know.
