Hello,
The question does raise a lot of questions, and I am not sure if
quantity is the only deciding factor anymore. What makes a successful
meteorite hunter? I personally don't think of myself as a meteorite
hunter, unless I am actually in the field hunting meteorites. I guess
you could have a question as to who personally has found the most
individual meteorites? Like how many count wise. I personally would
like to know who has found the most individuals ? However, this does
not make them the BEST or Most successful meteorite hunter in the
world. The number of overall finds is just a part of the
equation...in my thinking at least.
Best Wishes
Michael

In my humble opinion, I would assume that the "Most Successful"
meteorite hunter would be the person who has "hunted" and "found"
the most separate individual named or to be named meteorites. I
think if a person found 5,000 meteorites all from the same fall that
those, unfortunately, that would only count as 1 named meteorite.
The most successful would be whomever has the largest number of
different meteorites. I'm pretty sure that is what Michael is
talking about and I know he has found many. I honestly don't know
what the tally is between Michael, Farmer, Haag, Aziz, and The
Labennes or Nininger. Someone out there who is really good with
figures can do that, Elton? would you like to take this one? I know
you are very good with details and calculations. Is this a contest
and will the winner please give away specimens of the largest
meteorite find they discovered?
Brian
