I suppose we could start talking about the meteorite hunters who
hunted on private property and tracked up the desert at Gold Basin
and Franconia too.
Now you guys move over...I want a turn kicking that dead horse too!

"Steve.........
Do you suppose anyone has gotten permission to hunt the Meteor
Crater area in light of all the CD coming on to the market in the
past few years? Or maybe these are just old collections that have
finally been bought from their ancestors. Yeah, I bet that's it.

Right Don, especially all those fresh uncleaned apparently never
handled specimens including some of those very large ones... All
"found" in as you say "just old collections."
Being that I live in Flagstaff, and am quite known as a meteorite
collector-- strange that those old time collectors have not
contacted me in the last 10 or more years.
Oh well, I suppose that some have a higher profile than me...
But...
Meteor Crater Enterprises has made it very clear to me, and I
suppose others, that any caught looking for and digging up
meteorites out there will be arrested. And I tried back in 1992 to
get a permit from the BLM, Meteor Crater Enterprises, and Bar-T-Bar
working with Arizona State University's, Carlton Moore, UCLA's John
Wasson, and even USGS's Eugene Shoemaker, and David Roddy backing
me-- But to no avail. It was for a legitimate scientific project
that has been on my mind for many years. And the scientific
proposal was written by me, amended and approved by all those that backed me.
If Meteor Crater Enterprises, Bar-T-Bar, and AZ BLM won't work with
me or those well known scientists who endorsed my project, then
I doubt that anyone could get a permit to collect Canyon Diablo
meteorites for their personal collections, let alone for science.
