Subject: [meteorite-list] West, Texas --stats, etc
Hello List,
I, too, had a great time at the new West, Tx fall. My son and I arrived
there on Wed afternoon, Feb 18th, 3 days after the fall, and hunted all
day Thu-Sat, the 19-21st. This was our 1st father-son hunt and it turned
out very well, as we found 5 specimens, with a total weight of 270g over
those 3 days. ( My son beat me by a factor of about 2.5 to 1 in regard to
weight found!)
When we arrived home, my wife saw the beautiful stones and said she
wanted to go find some of them. In spite of my warning her about the tough
terrain and the biting, powerful winds, she still wanted to go. She had
been on one hunt with me 13 years ago, with no finds. So, after having to
let my regular job interfere with our meteorite hunting for a week, she
and I headed back down there for another try over Sun-Tues, 3-1-09 thru
3-3-09 . We got very lucky again, as we both ended up finding one before
it was time to leave.
Our "find stats" for about 5 day's hunting were:
Total number = 7 individuals
Total weight = 407g
I THINK my son's 133g find is PERHAPS the 5th (or so) largest stone??
But this is exactly the point I was hoping to make with this post. It
really would be nice if everyone would post their totals as well. That
way, we wouldn't be guessing/estimating the total number of stones and the
TKW. I think everyone would be very interested to see what the true
numbers are.
Best wishes,
Robert Woolard
