I agree with Adam. I, too, have noticed that images of some meteorites,
including fresh falls, may appear black or brownish depending on the
lighting conditions (type, white balance, flash/no flash, angle) and
camera exposure... even though they may look black to the naked eye. I
think all would agree it is best to see meteorites in person.

I have not seen any of this material first-hand but I was thinking the same
thing when I saw Bob Verish's images. Perhaps it rained in Northern Nevada or
many times fresh falls take on a brownish hue. If the miner's stone was found
within a few hours of the fall, then I would think the stones have a natural
brownish hue or it could be the white balance is off on the digital camera.
Happy hunting,
Adam

I had the exact same impression. This one looks like a somewhat weathered NWA.
Could be the lighting.
But, Adam Hupe reported multiple finds so far so this could be legit.

Hi All,
I have posted a few pictures of the strewnfield and a large chondrite on my
website.A couple of the roads in the area will be posted with No trespassing
signs later this week. The reason is for mine safety regulations.The project
supervisor was very nice and explained the biggest concern is safety.If
anything was to happen on the mining clam, the site would be shut down.
Thanks,
Sonny
