Hi all, Some time ago a couple of expert Meteorite hunting friends had told me about a particular area in California where they had been finding meteorites. When I expressed interest in finding a California Meteorite they unselfishly offered coordinates.
Last Saturday 11/18/06 my Son and I attempted to go there. About 5 miles from the coordinates they gave I made a discovery of my own. It seemed to be a micro strewn field, together my son and I picked up 405 fragments and 20 or so whole individuals totaling 425 for the day! I'm not sure but I think we came home with between 12 and 18 lbs! (I gave a lot away) My Son and I initially thought that our finds would pair with our two friends. But when we compared them, there were many differences in color, magnetic pull and of course location. Today we're just not sure. Be sure to watch next week when I post pictures of what happened this weekend as I took my friends back to try and find more. The full story will be in published in Meteorite Mag Feb 2007. Take a look at a few of the pictures. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/mr.meteorite/album/576460762353387524#page1 Ruben Garcia Phoenix, Arizona http://www.mr-meteorite.com ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
