[meteorite-list] Update to U.S. State Department website regarding meteorite hunting
Hello all, It's not every day my actions are mentioned on a government website, I thought I should share this with the meteorite community. May the new year usher in a wave of new falls! Robert Ward (copied from State Dept. website) Like many countries, Oman prohibits the removal of what it considers cultural heritage items, including archaeological treasures, meteorites, rocks and stones. Anyone suspected of engaging in such activity may be prosecuted under Omani law. U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to check with Omani authorities before removing anything that may fall into this category. Two U.S. citizens were found guilty of removing stones and imprisoned in 2011. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_991.html#criminal_penalties __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] California's second witnessed fall, Red Canyon Lake now official!
Hello list. In 2007 I spent two weeks triangulating a large fireball captured by the Yuba City Sentinal camera, and witnessed by thousands in California. I organized a sizable search exploiting several avenues of rather unusual nature as the region was remote, being some twenty miles from the nearest road. A single stone of 18.4 grams was recovered, an H5 chondrite. Here is the link to the Meteoritical Bulletin regarding this fall. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=53502 __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Conception Junction Pallasite
Dave is not able to post at the moment, and rather than rewriting this I am forwarding it for him. Obviously I had concerns about specimen transport prior to acquiring the meteorite in Conception Junction -- not because the landowner wasn't credible, but rather because it was possible a the stone was transported by a native American, perhaps centuries ago. It's hard in photographs to notice this at first, but the average crystal diameter of Brenham specimens we used for comparison was about 7.5 millimeters, whereas Conception Junction averages only about 4.5 millimeters. It's painfully obvious in a direct comparison that the two are quite different based on physical characteristics alone (including several factors, not just crystal size). Then of course there are the findings of UCLA's Dr. John Wasson, the world's authority on iron and pallasitic meteorites, which are detailed in the monograph through his contribution to same. To summarize, he wrote, The information I report here shows there is no main group pallasite that is closely related to Conception Junction. Conception Junction is unique. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] AD: Just loaded ebay, some nice collection pieces ending Tuesday.
Hello list, I am starting a remodel on my house next week, and the collection will be moving into a new wing with atmospheric controls and security dedicated the preservation of meteorites. With construction crews in and out of the house during this time I will be storing most of the collection until the new display room is ready, this is an opportune time for me to liquidate some duplicates, as well as help cover the cost of three new fiber optic cases. I will be listing more collection pieces, as well as my normal stock, on ebay in the next month or so. I just listed some nice pieces, notably a very unusual unclassified NWA iron I have had on the back burner for some time, and never had classified. Below is a link to the listings.

[meteorite-list] NO REGRETS
Hello Sonny, List, As per Art's request I will not discuss the Nevada issue, but I am happy to address Sonny's request that I disclose the agreements I have in regards to the shares on my hunts. On desert hunts the finder keeps all of his common chondrites, we do split rare achondrites, lunars, carbonaceous chondrites, rumurutiites, ect. The thought of my 22.61 kilo DHO 1431 oriented nose cone having been cut in half so that my partner could get his share is unimaginable to me. Also, if one finds a broken individual and your partner finds the other piece, let's say ten feet away, that piece belongs to the original finder, and that person calls the shots on how the strewn field is hunted from that point on. All of our agreements are made before we even step foot on an airplane, this prevents any misunderstandings. As far as Glorieta Mountain is concerned, every person I have hunted with that has found meteorites kept their finds, Patrick Hermann, Robert Haag, myself, Shauna Russell, Jim Strope. I feel that if you work for it, it was meant for you. On large scale projects such as Springwater we do split equally, but this is a mining project essentially, we all have a lot of money invested, and all open ground gets covered, the 'luck of the hunt' is not such of a factor, it was simply in your grid area. Sonny, I hope this public statement answers you questions. May I suggest you have a contract in writing with your partners, and the land owners in the future to prevent these recurrent problems.Regards, Robert Ward. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] MY REGRETS AND APOLOGY
Hello List, Count Deiro and several others has tried to post this and it would not go through for some reason, so I am giving it a try. Regards, Robert Ward Dear Listees, Like many of us, I was taken aback by Bill Kies' outburst concerning Sonny Clary's alleged bad behavior in the Wisconsin field. While Bills' attack was admittedly shrill, I couldn't help but wonder what actually happened in Wisconsin...or what happened with Sonny in Texasor in Georgia. Well, after much soul-searching, I have come to conclude it's my responsibility to share what happened in Nevada. First, however, I have two admissions to make for which I am embarrassed: 1. After I found my first meteorite, Nevada's largest, Sonny Clary informed me It's customary to give the person with whom you are hunting half of whatever you find. I had no reason not to believe him. Sonny had the meteorite cut the very next morning. When I was advised that Sonny's custom of meteorite sharing was not customary, I asked for it back and he refused. I became angry and I threatened Sonny, and for that I apologize. 2. I felt stung by the first wave of criticism when the meteorite was cut, and in an effort to deflect such criticism, I allowed Sonny to post on his web site and the List an accounting of my find where I declared that splitting the meteorite had been done in gratitude for Sonny's mentoring me. This was also inaccurate, and for this fabrication I apologize as well. This was not the first time that Sonny and I had hunted, and as I stood in shock and delight looking down at my first find, Sonny said, Guido, I know we don't have a deal and I don't want to piss you off, but it's customary to give the person with whom you're hunting half of whatever you find. Sonny was a mile away when I found this meteorite, at our third location of the day, and one where I had hunted before with my grandsons and friends. When I later asked Sonny why he had arranged to have it cut so quickly, Sonny admitted that he had done so because I knew there was a chance that you would change your mind. Folks, I was blessed to find my first meteorite at age 73. From an experience which should have been a source of only immense joy, I have also sadly experienced confusion, sorrow, anger and embarrassment. Sonny still refuses to return the other half of the meteorite, and while that's deeply upsetting to me, more importantly than any meteorite or the anguish experienced, I am sorry if I've disappointed you, my friends on this great List. Humbly and sincerely, Count Deiro IMCA 3536 __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Firearms related posts on a meteorite list
Mike G. I would like to point out that Michael Johnson has has made a huge impact on this community, he tries his best to represent people that are from all walks of life in the meteorite world, for you to target him as using poor judgement is insulting, that is just YOUR opinion, not fact as stated by you. I am not your son and please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't recall seeing you at any state shoots, ranges, or having read your scores, or article's in any firearms publications.

You say that it is incorrect to state that it is people, not guns that kill Show me one case of a firearm autonomously 'jumping up and killing someone'.

Re: [meteorite-list] Firearms related posts on a meteorite list
Hey meteoritekid, may I suggest that you unplug for a while, go outside, and get some real world experience, perhaps then you can base your arguments off something more substantial than than charts, graphs, and statistics put together by some professor in a office somewhere that you have never met. You said the redneck crap is a culture that people tend to view negatively, glad to know how you feel about my culture and that you view people like me as second rate citizens, that is not very tolerant for such a leftist.

I accept your apology, and hope that things start looking up for both you, and your wife. To the rest of the people on the list, sorry to burden your ears with this thread, and Jason, I am cool with you too. Robert. On Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 7:12 PM, Galactic Stone Ironworks meteoritem...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Folks, This is my last post on this subject - I promise. This train wreck of negativity over the gun photo has gone too far. I played a role in that, and for that I apologize. There are deep divisions in this country that have been encouraged by those who will profit from keeping the populace divided. This country is the most polarized that I have ever seen, and people who would normally get along fine are at each other's throats at the drop of a dime. That is what is fueling a sizeable portion of the hostility going on right now, it's not just the guns. The gun provided a spark that lit the pool of gasoline that was already there. I posted some things that I should not have. I have strong beliefs and those burst forth in a couple of frustrated posts that were directed more at an idea than a person or a gun. Robert Ward, I apologize for calling you son and speaking in a condescending fashion. I don't know you and I was lashing out at something you represent (in my mind) and not you. I grew up in the deep south, surrounded by rednecks. My father was a redneck. I know that calling another man son is like a challenge to one's manhood and it is condescending. I respect your contributions to meteoritics and I respect your meteorite hunting skills. You are a very underrated hunter and a fair dealer. I bought a Brenham thin slice from you a while back on eBay and it is still one of my favorite pieces. I have no beef with you personally, unless this episode created one, which would be regrettable. For those who may care, here is why I lashed out - my wife is very sick with chronic health conditions. I will not go into all of the long details, but believe me when I say it has been the most difficult period of our lives. I almost lost her and sitting in ICU watching your soulmate fight for life will make a man do some long and hard thinking. We don't have health insurance and cannot afford health insurance because her condition is pre-existing and no insurance company will touch her with a 10-foot pole, or if they will, the premiums are so astronomical that they are impossible. We have never taken a dime in public assistance and the reason we had no insurance when her condition arose, is because we both quit full-time management jobs (and good insurance) to be caregivers for her elderly father who has Alzheimers - something we did out of love to keep him from going into a nursing home. (a fate that a highly-decorated WWII veteran does not deserve) So we lost our insurance while we were doing the right thing - and then my wife got sick. Where is this going? All of the people who are erecting roadblocks to my wife getting affordable insurance (and thus access to decent healthcare that isn't an emergency room last resort) are people from the right/conservative/republican side of the political and social spectrum. So, I am developing a big chip on my shoulder towards the political right because they are, in essence, prolonging my wife's suffering by preventing meaningful healthcare reform. And all of the arguments against it center around money - which doesn't mean a darn thing to me if I lose my wife and soulmate. All of the money in the world won't bring her back if she dies for lack of medical care. There are other layers to this situation, but I think this explains the bulk of my frustration. If you are blessed with good health and your loved ones are blessed with good health - then wake up each day be thankful for it - because it is truly a blessing and it can suddenly be revoked without warning or reason. This is truly the most difficult part of my life and my wife's life and it is very frustrating to be denied medical care because we lack money and insurance - and we fall between the cracks in the system. It is a nightmare that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. So, when I see/hear/read people from the right-side of the political spectrum, a surge of hostility, resentment, and frustration wells up in me. (which is not a good thing, I know). After I shot my mouth off, I got a flood replies (some public, some private) and I latched onto your's because it was the first one I clicked on that disagreed with me. Then I shot my mouth off again, and the cycle continued. And now it has become a major distraction to the List and it has fostered division in the meteorite circles.
