Okay Michael.
Now you added this to the equation;
--"An earthen dam while yes, scraped by man, is still just
dirt. No damage could be
done to it."
Now are you saying damage has to be done to it????
How much damage was done to the guys roof and do you have
photos to prove it???
Not that we don't trust you but if you insist damage must
be done then lets see the damage?
And by the way if these are hammers or not hammers this is
not going to send your business down the drain unless you
let it. Everyone seems to have an opinion here but the use
of the word stupid by Greg is uncalled for. Michael Blood
will clear this up without any name calling.
I hope. Carl

But we must get this under control. A pile of dirt is
nothing more than a pile of dirt. Carl seems to think that
anything touched by man would make a meteorite a "hammer
stone". This is a crock of crap, and while I ignored this
discussion a couple of weeks ago, I can not sit back and
watch my business go down the drain by trying to lump every
stone as a hammer. I know of one hammer in West, a 124 gram
stone hit a house, bounced off and landed in the yard. The
homeowner picked it up and the stone has shingles embedded
in it. I am still trying to buy the stone, but the owner has
money and really has no interest in selling it. That is a
hammer stone. It is the only hammer stone I know of from
West, that is definitive.
We can not allow people to continue to demean
meteorites by attempting to say that dirt roads and
driveways make hammer stones.
Smash a car, computer printer, rooftop, or cow and you
have a hammer.
An earthen dam while yes, scraped by man, is still
just dirt. No damage could be done to it. A stone landing in
the dirt 20 feet away but not on the dam is no different
that a stone on the dam.

Mike and all,
While I will leave the interpretation of
"hammer" up
to the beholder, the
post was indeed more of a joke, or double
entendre
. But it did hit the dam.
And my "congrats" going out to my wife was not
a
joke, that was sincere.
I am NOT asking a premium on this rock above
any of
the others I am selling,
just because it hit the dam.
Although since it was found AFTER the heavy
rains, I am
actually discounting
it below what I would be selling it for if it was
picked up
earlier, as I am
with all the Post-rain recovery specimens.
