[meteorite-list] AD - FULL COLOR Planetary Coins/Medals
Good Morning Everybody I have an exciting offering to present. Mike Farmer and I have been working on these two coins for quite some time. They are full color coins/medals/tokens of NWA 2986 Mars Meteorite and NWA 2995 Lunar Meteorite. http://www.meteoritecoins.com/ The Mars Coin has a fragment of NWA 2986 embedded in a crater in the bottom of the coin. For the NWA 2995 Lunar Coin we used the cutting dust and fragments from the recent cutting of this meteorite that we have had for some time. If you remember, this is the incredibly beautiful Lunar meteorite that was on display uncut in Mike's room in Tucson this last Feb . http://www.catchafallingstar.com/nwa2995/nwa2995.htm (We are going to start offering specimens of this meteorite soon as well). Both of these new coins were limited to a run of 250 and are numbered 1 of 250, 2 of 250 etc. They are $100- each or a set of both coins for $175- including shipping. You can request numbers but as with our past coins we will set aside # 1 to 10, 100, 111, 200, 222 and 250 for future use such as donations, special offerings etc. We decided that since there will be collectors that want the same number of both coins, we will limit sales until this coming Sunday night to set sales only. Starting Monday morning we will release single issue coins. You can contact either Mike or I for orders, it doesn't matter. Here is the website with photos. I think you will all like this coin/medal even if you don't want one for yourself (would make nice gift too): http://www.meteoritecoins.com/ OH, I almost forgot..I also have auctions ending tonight, eBay ID catchafallingstar.com.

http://www.andina.com.pe/NoticiaDetalle.aspx?id=145083 Here is a new Carancas article from Peru today. My translation: Desaguadero, Oct 11. The Desaguadero police department will withdraw from the zone in Carancas where the meteorite fell last September 15th, informed Major Victor Anaya, chief of police of that district. Through prior coordination with the local authorities of the impact zone, at 17:00 hours today, 20 policeme officers of the Puno local division, 3 officers, and 40 sub-officers will be releived of duty by personel of the Puno Seranazgo (I have no idea what type of unit this is). This action will be attended by officials of local authorities and representatives of the Public Minister, he told Andina news agency. In spite of this, he assured that The police patrolls will surround the site at all times and it will be hughly guarded. The police chief insisted that the withdrawl obeys higher orders an is not because of badwill generated after the accusations of the so-called meteoritehunter Michael Farmer, who informed that the Desaguadero police sold him fragments of the celestial body which fell on the community of Carancas. He also added that he would go forward with official charges against the northamerican for defaming me, insulting my honor, the honor of my family, and my institution. Finally, Anaya asked that the crater be roofed over to prevent it's deterioration when the coming rains arrive, which at this time, are on the horizon.

Re: [meteorite-list] Carancas article in peru news today.
I spoke with people in Carancas today, no-one can get near the crater, about 500 meters is closest. They plan to try and cover it! I guess the simple fact that the low spot will fill with water, and the crater will dissolve from the inside and outside does not matter to the. I told them that, anyone with a brain can see that the area will fill with water, a roof will do nothing to change that. Again, this is Peru, they were not receptive to my advice, they don't like gringos down there, and they think they know what they are doing. I have been saying it for a week, they want the meteorite to lay in the muddy water for some months to cure I guess. Sadly, the Caranas meteorite will go down as yet another government sanctioned debacle. Michael Farmer --- Jan Hattenbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Any news of any plans to excavate the crater?

My translation: Desaguadero, Oct 11. The Desaguadero police department will withdraw from the zone in Carancas where the meteorite fell last September 15th, informed Major Victor Anaya, chief of police of that district. Through prior coordination with the local authorities of the impact zone, at 17:00 hours today, 20 policeme officers of the Puno local division, 3 officers, and 40 sub-officers will be releived of duty by personel of the Puno Seranazgo (I have no idea what type of unit this is). This action will be attended by officials of local authorities and representatives of the Public Minister, he told Andina news agency. In spite of this, he assured that The police patrolls will surround the site at all times and it will be hughly guarded. The police chief insisted that the withdrawl obeys higher orders an is not because of badwill generated after the accusations of the so-called meteoritehunter Michael Farmer, who informed that the Desaguadero police sold him fragments of the celestial body which fell on the community of Carancas. He also added that he would go forward with official charges against the northamerican for defaming me, insulting my honor, the honor of my family, and my institution. Finally, Anaya asked that the crater be roofed over to prevent it's deterioration when the coming rains arrive, which at this time, are on the horizon.

Dear Jim, The great crater in our hearts and weeping of our desert-worn eyes caused with this news and thought of missing you can't seem real. We will observe a day of admiration and respect in your honor today: for your unique and wonderful accomplishments strewn across the world in the field we love, but above all, the kindness, humility, and accessibility with which your touched our lives a country away from you. I am deeply saddened that we never did realize our hunt we discussed together, but you have generously accompanied me on many excursions, many without my mention (I wish I had said more), and will continue to do so. Oro Valley and Tucson are changed for me, and I keep you always in mind as one of the few unexpected treasures I found in my life without having to look, Jim, in you, we have a true hero, in the true sense and in every sense.

I was not fortunate enough of ever meeting Jim but, here in the Ensisheim area, we all very well know him through his outstanding achievements in the strewnfields. But he is even more recognized as a truly kind, humble and altruistic person, never sparing his efforts to initiate enthousiastic young (and less young) meteorite lovers in field collecting. My personal thoughts go to Jim's family and many other relatives and friends for whom the loss this outstanding man is by all means incommensurable.

It was a great pleasure being a friend Of Jim, How did that happen? Because the first time I ever met Him was at his home which he had opened to the community During one of the Tucson Shows. I had never met him and Took the opportunity to thank him for having me as one of His guests. He stopped everything he was doing and took me in to Show me his fabulous collection of rather small but highly Representative specimens very neatly arranged they made A truly spectacular display. He was so friendly from the very first minute we met That from that moment on I felt like we were good friends - Because that is just the kind of person he was: A good friend To all, active of mind but living from they heart, he was an example not only to the meteoritic community but to the human race.

[meteorite-list] My Friend Jim
Dear Friends and Listees: The true measure of a man is how he is thought of, and spoken of, by his peers. The notes posted here today on the Meteorite List are a fitting tribute to a person who was universally liked, respected, and admired. We all remember Jim as a meteorite hunter of extraordinary skill, but he was also a father and grandfather, an engineer, a university professor, a devoted pet owner, a good neighbor, the founder of the town of Oro Valley, the energy behind the Oro Valley Historical Society, and the sort of thoughtful and loyal friend that few of us are lucky enough to have in their lives. I met Jim, and his closest friend, Twink Monrad, nearly ten years ago. It was shortly after his co-discovery of the Gold Basin strewnfield had been announced. I was living in Hudson County, New Jersey back then, and had just made my first journey to Tucson for the 1998 Gem Show. Jim graciously granted me an interview and Steve Arnold and myself visited his home in Oro Valley. I was immediately struck by how energetic and enthusiastic Jim was for a man well into his sixties. I wrote: Evidence of Jim’s former career as a University of Arizona civil engineering professor is everywhere: shelves filled with textbooks, articles and scholarly publications. Among them are eclectic meteoritical books by H.H. Nininger and others, and it became plain to me that this clear-eyed and vigorous man had not settled quietly into retirement, but rather had immersed himself in the new occupation of meteorite hunter. Jim showed us many of his Gold Basin finds and then took us out onto his driveway with a couple of stones and a White's Goldmaster III (his favorite detector). Jim showed us how to calibrate that detector so it would see Gold Basins, explained exactly how to get to the strewnfield, and put into each of our hands a real Gold Basin meteorite to take with us! Such generosity and such willingness to share secret information is more than a little unusual in our field. I know many of you also experienced Jim's kindness and desire to help others find meteorites themselves. And a good number of people on this List, and in our community, found their actual own first meteorite directly as a result of Jim's generous and sharing nature. Meteorite published my story: The Great Gold Basin Rush in May of 1998, but it wasn't just another interview for me. I really liked those people. The following year, Steve and I were thrilled by a personal invitation to join Jim and Twink at their Gold Basin campsite. It was a superb adventure, and out there in the field we became acquainted with Suzanne Morrison -- who would later become a close friend -- and Jack Schrader. That trip resulted in one of my best published articles. The Midas Touch: A Return to Gold Basin, which was more about Jim than Gold Basin, and I took my all-time favorite photo of him there -- a black-and-white image in which he is holding up a freshly-found Gold Basin, wearing thick gloves, and with those big headphones clamped around his hat. That photo is featured on the Jensan Scientifics poster The World of Meteorites from A to Z. In 2004 I decided to leave my old life behind, and moved almost 3,000 miles to sunblasted Tucson. I picked a home in the northwest, a little out of the city limits, as the neighborhood appealed to me, but mostly because I would be only a few minutes' drive from Jim and the Monrads. One of the first things Jim did was show up in his battered but indestructible Toyota Tacoma, with a ladder and a bag of tools. We climbed up on my roof, on a hot Sonoran Desert morning, and Jim showed me how to repair a swamp cooler. I'd never encountered one before, but we had it running in no time. It seemed that every time I went over to Jim’s place he had just repaired the roof of his house, installed a new garage door, done a complete service on his trucks’ engines, or finished putting in some new piping or wiring. He could fix anything and didn’t believe in hiring a handyman to do something when he could do it better himself. Jim was the first person to show me the trick of putting powerful magnets onto my rockpick for fishing meteorites out of the desert sand. He also taught me to keep a spare battery in my 4WD in case the truck failed to start in some scary corner of the boonies. “That spare battery saved me a couple of times,” he once told me. In his own quiet way, Jim was prepared for anything. He enjoyed the company of friends, but never minded hunting alone. Now and them Jim would call and say, “I just spent two days at Holbrook. I found 17 pieces totalling 31.2 grams,” or some such. He kept meticulous records of every trip and every find. He loved Holbrook and had an uncanny ability to spot tiny little stones hinding among the orange sand dunes. I was barely settled in Tucson when Jim told me about some meteorite hunters he wanted me to meet. They were

That photo is featured on the Jensan Scientifics poster The World of Meteorites from A to Z. In 2004 I decided to leave my old life behind, and moved almost 3,000 miles to sunblasted Tucson. I picked a home in the northwest, a little out of the city limits, as the neighborhood appealed to me, but mostly because I would be only a few minutes' drive from Jim and the Monrads. One of the first things Jim did was show up in his battered but indestructible Toyota Tacoma, with a ladder and a bag of tools. We climbed up on my roof, on a hot Sonoran Desert morning, and Jim showed me how to repair a swamp cooler. I'd never encountered one before, but we had it running in no time. It seemed that every time I went over to Jim's place he had just repaired the roof of his house, installed a new garage door, done a complete service on his trucks' engines, or finished putting in some new piping or wiring. He could fix anything and didn't believe in hiring a handyman to do something when he could do it better himself. Jim was the first person to show me the trick of putting powerful magnets onto my rockpick for fishing meteorites out of the desert sand. He also taught me to keep a spare battery in my 4WD in case the truck failed to start in some scary corner of the boonies. That spare battery saved me a couple of times, he once told me. In his own quiet way, Jim was prepared for anything. He enjoyed the company of friends, but never minded hunting alone. Now and them Jim would call and say, I just

[meteorite-list] THE AFRICA FALL??
Good evening list.This has been a very sad day for all who are into meteorites.I know that all who knew jim were in some way changed by his humaness.Truly a wonderful man will be missed.But about this so called new fall.From the pictures I have seen now,they look alot like BENSOUR,not BASSIKOUNOU.I mean if a large fall like this has happened it would be all over the news somehow,like the peru event.Not hidden and kept secret.I know the sahara and those countries pertaining to those areas are vast,but someone somewhere would have seen something,especially if over 100 kilo's has fallen.I like everyone else await the secrets to be unlocked.Any thoughts from anyone? steve arnold,chicago Steve R.Arnold,chicago,Ill,Usa!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Asteroid an hour away. What do you do?
Darren and List, First I would first say Amen!, some of mankind,the Earth and its wonderful lifeforms have been spared by the ugly destruction of Earth that is happening now at the hands of the surging population of humans. Finally, war would be fought with stones again, if ever again! Then, i would call family and be with my wife. Next my wife and I would sit outside and watch the event. When time is up time is up...no need to concern, worry or panic; life will continue in some form. My opinions only.

Bernd, and everyone, I'm sorry to hear that Jim died. I regret that I didn't attempt to know him better as I've only visited with him at the show. I'm reminded that we can all go at any time and we should try to make the best of each minute here on earth. He was very accomplished and was a great role model for all of us.
