Hey all, What info do you recommend collecting when a find is made in the field?
GPS coordinates (and datum used), in situ photos with a scale and weight are a given. But what else? I've also heard that one should not to apply a magnet to a new meteorite because a manget can affect the magnetic susceptibility (doesn't a metal detector affect it too?). What about an historic location versus a new fall? Everyone mentions collecting data, but are we all on the same page?
