I found a total of 4 meteorites in 20 days of hunting, a 29g, 32g, 33.g, and a 236g, respectively. Interesting how it works out. I found my first one on my first day, my second one on my third day, then went 7 days straight without a find. I went home for a while caught up on things, and returned to hunt for another 8 days without a find. Finally, on my sixteenth day (combined days) without a find, with only 2 days left before I have to return home I find BaM 026, a 33.2g oriented stone with a thumb size regmaglypt of primary fusion crust. There is a tiny speck of white that I thought was a chip but upon closer ispection I believe it's where the crust didn't finish forming, through the glass you can see it lapping over. (This meteorite is for sale, contact off list.) The next day, the last day, I found BaM 027 in the first 5 minutes of hunting. It weighs ~234g with out the 1.8g chip, 236g with it stuck on. Keith found the chip for me with a metal detector, it was 18 feet from the stone! We couldn't find the other small peces. Most agree, this is perhaps the most beautiful stone to come from this fall so far. It's highly oriented with 4 different phases of crust. A perfectly level primary crust makes one wonder how large the original body might have been. Once it bolided this fragment immediately oriented itself, producing some nice flow lines and a rollover all the way around. There is a 'drip' of crust that came off and stuck to the side leaving a small cave over un-burnt, white material that can be seen when you tilt the stone and look under the drip, I've never seen anything like it. This rock is for sale. Email me off list with serious inquiries. This is a world class meteorite worthy of the finest collection or institute. I'm interested in selling BaM 026 a 33.2g fully crusted and lightly oriented individual.Taking offers. I'm interested in selling BaM 027 a 236g oriented specimen, as well. Taking offers. The images aren't in any order, just a hodge podge. http://s934.photobucket.com/albums/ad190/alienrockfarm/Battle%20Mountain%20Meteorite%20Hunts%202012/ I want to thank all that made this event a memorable experience.

Re: [meteorite-list] New Southern AZ cold find
Hi MikeG I got a pic over on facebook, But will put up some on photo bucket later. Ya I got a google earth map of all the recent finds across the US and there are no finds in this location. Yes I will get it sent in to be classified but there are 7 new finds ahead of it that need thin sections cut sent in. But before I send it in I gotta work the area over for more new finds see if there is more of it there , or if it's a loner out there all by its self. been raining here quite nicely for last few days. So once the sun comes out it will be time look over the area. My poor wife's gotta put up with this 53 year old kid.

You should really consider getting them classified and check your find coordinates against known finds and see if your stones are paired with any known meteorites. Best regards and good luck!

I wanted to get more money, get the first stones home safe and in the lab and back to Kenya. I had to cancel another trip planned for months with Greg, so only proper thing to do was invite him. He was most accomodating of the rapid change in continents we were going to visit when he saw the stones I got from the first trip. Congrats to Robert Ward who also recovered a stone in the field, saving it from sure destruction under tropical rains. We had a lot of fun, we also worked our asses off, dawn to dark, endless hours of every day stuck in traffic jams just to reach the strewnfield. Cobras, yes, I am not kidding, Greg had close encounter with a Cobra that stood up and scared one of our workers nearly to death, he ran from the field, Greg went to see it but it went down a hole before he saw it. Place crawling with snakes, I was of course in shorts:) so after the worker came screaming to the car, I left the field myself for safer quarters. The people were nice, the secret police found us, threatened us, got to the point and demanded their cut of the payday to allow us to work. The usual in Africa, another day, another shilling. I paid great money to the locals, either for stones or for workers and supervisors to monitor the workers, money none of them could refuse, most of them got a year or years of salary for stone worthless to them, changed their lives. For example the woman who sold me the 3.5 kg stone bought cows and pigs, went back to give her photos I promised her, she told me she invested some of the money in livestock, she bought 4 piglets and told me in a year she would have 20 pigs. she could not afford a single pig before that meteorite fell and like a gift from heaven, she got more money than she had ever seen in her life. I will not sell it. More than one month after the fall, hundreds of deperately poor people searching, 11.8 kg has been found plus the ~2.5 kg original mass. I thought more would be found, but not so easy. I flew 39,224 miles, spent more than $28,000 on expenses, went on safari, saw things I have never seen, and recovered a meteorite for science and collectors alike. Hopefully this is a good thing, but sadly I am sure some will try to destroy my work. Thanks for the support from those who like what I do to get you the things in your collections. Trying to work on a webpage, but my computer will have none of it, so giving up for the day. Will try again tomorrow.

The general consensus was terrestrial and probably slag. I agreed initially with my respected and more experienced colleagues, but curiosity over traits that could be seen only by having the specimen in hand overcame my cheapness and I sent 22+ grams off to be classified. Today, I am pleased to announce that the unusal slag like exterior concealed an extremely fresh (WO/.1) L5 OC with an uncommon petrography.

Re: [meteorite-list] From Meteorites to Mammoths
Hi Larry Funny story. I have one kinda like it. Before I left home in WA State for this Documentary film in the North Atlantic Sea . I got a call from a guy that read one of my Meteorite wanted posters . A older fella that builds logging roads . He does a lot of heavy equipment work . He said he found a big strange rock on one of his jobs a few years back. It was real rusty on the out side was sluffing off what looked like rusty stuff but the inside looked like Iron. He said in all of his time 30 years of heavy equipment digging he has never seen a rock like it before. And that there are more at this same location. But he just kept the one. He said it was about 18 ft underground He loaded it with one of his tractors into his truck took it home. He said he would pay my gas to drive up look at it when I get home in Sept. Sounds like a good lead So I will go have a look see when I get back.

To make a long story short 6 hours later I arrived at my destination which I thought would only a couple of hours at the most. I would recommend a four wheel drive vehicle or ATV. The majority of the trail was four wheel drive only and the slightest amount of rain could make the trail impassable. Due to the location and condition of the road I could only spend a few hours hunting. I will have to return when I can spend more time. http://www.nevadameteorites.com/nevadameteorites/Trip_Report.htm The trip was not a waste I did make a new meteorite find at a different location.

Both of these are so different, But they are chondrites. In the past month I find 5 other stones that look like they could be Achondrites, (will post later) I have no interest in selling meteorites, I think these should go to our local Geology museum which has a cool meteorite display. 6 yeras I was on a mission to find a meteorite, I think now it is complete. I found these out side the small town where I grew - up These would be the 1st chondrites found in Butler county Ohio. The only other meteorite found here is the Fairfeld meteorite (iron) If all the other suspect stones turn out to be meteorites also, then a few miles north of where the last glacier ended in ohio, Indiana and Illinoise is where meteorite hunters should be looking. I think the sandy-gravel soil drains water quickly, and meteorites may be perserved longer then people think. Also I have found 40+ artifacts since april, this farm I had found artifacts 25 years ago. will post them also. The soil is only 8-10 deep on the glacial morian, 5 paleo points have found here, I found 3 of them, Most of the artifacts are Adena Mound builder material.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite fell near Wynndel
Hi All I spent two days hunting all logging roads north NE of Wynndel B.C. for this visitor or visitors from space. All roads end just at top of hill in 3ft to 4ft of snow. Logging companies only snow plowed the roads to there present logging truck loading areas. I did find some real nice Paraglider launches at the top near the lake side ridge just north of Wynndel ,wish I had my PG wing with me a driver as cloud base was nice high. also hunted 3a the road on east shore of both lakes going north. Some hunting in fields north of town then spent a day hunting the HWY 3 to the east and the Goat river forest service roads that are just east of the projected fall area. The snow melt has all creeks river at Max flow with some flooding in areas. Snow level is low but once it melts off opens up the roads I fill that there is still a chance for some one to stumble across some meteorites. I do have to say the timber brush is really thick in this area. So finding one will surly put a feather in your cap. Even thou I found no new finds on my hunt. I did fully enjoy the hunt and being connected to mother nature and seeing all the wild life. I did post a lot of my Meteorite wanted posters around the area and talked to some logger that log the area. So now iam just waiting for that call from a Logger telling me he has my 10 KG meteorite .When I get time I will post some pics Scott Johnson U.S. AirBorne Sport Aviation LLC Eagles Nest Airpark Sport Pilot C.F.I WSC-L WSC-S www.usairborne.com i...@usairborne.com Office 509-780-0554 Cell 509-780-8377 -- From: Thunder Stone stanleygr...@hotmail.com Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 12:30 PM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite fell near Wynndel List: I hope someone makes a find.

Greg S http://www.dailytownsman.com/article/20110524/CRANBROOK0101/305249994/-1/cranbrook/meteorite-fell-near-wynndel Meteorite fell near Wynndel Last weekend's meteor over Cranbrook would have fallen north of Wynndel, experts have calculated. A Finnish astronomer, Esko Lyytinen, analyzed footage from meteor cameras in Cranbrook, Saskatchewan, Penticton and Calgary to determine the possible location of meteorites from the fireball. He went frame by frame through the video and he enhanced the stars so he could know the position, explained Rick Nowell, physics lab technician at the College of the Rockies. According to Lyytinen, the meteor entered the atmosphere at a height of 79 kilometres. Initially weighing 20 kilograms, the meteor broke apart at least twice before dissolving into a trail of gravel. The flashes caught by the camera indicate the explosions. Last week, Lyytinen drew on a map the area in which he believes the meteorites may have fallen. On Tuesday, he emailed The Townsman to add that he has received new footage, and he advises that the line should be continued up to another 10 kilometres further west. I will not give at this stage a new map, but it looks probable that it fell down more to the south west than the line or ellipse, said Lyytinen. It probably had a bigger entry velocity and higher beginning. This would also mean a somewhat smaller (than earlier expected) meteorite size on the ground. Still, meteorite hunters could head north from Wynndel and search east of Duck Lake. If there is snow, Nowell said, look for a hole in the snow. Otherwise, take a metal detector. Your metal detector would beep as it goes over it and a magnet would pick it up. It probably has a lot of nickel and iron in it, said Nowell. The meteor probably came from the asteroid belt, Nowell added. Usually they have little indentations in them. The rock will be smooth, but with lots of little dimples in it where it evaporated. The atmosphere sandblasts it coming down and melts it a bit, he said. The meteorites' value could range widely. Common iron meteors can range from $.50/gram to $5/gram, rarer stoney meteorites $2 to $20/gram, and really rare ones $100 or $1000/gram or more, depending if they have embedded gems or if they're from Mars or the moon, said Nowell. __ 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 __ 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

Hi Chris The weather just broke today here in Eastern Wa. So Iam headed up to Creston to have a look about. In my younger years we did a lot of hang gliding there with the local pilots. I would love to speak to any eye witness that say they saw it plung into the lake. Or saw it there in Creston before dark flight. There was a moon out but I fill that it would be quite hard to see at night unless it was a real monster in size. In that case I bet the sonic boom was a really loud one that raddled a few window panes in the area. I should be there by 3 or 4 this afternoon .

[meteorite-list] 4 lake bed hunt, New Lake Bed finds
in 1 winter this area totally changed. I followed some ice rafted rocks and some other debris like old rubber tires that all got blown across the lake bed in super strong NE winds likely frozen lake bed. So we followed the signs hunted the western shore line where it all was blown into. Within 15 min of hunting that shore I located a nice 30 gram meteorite that feels like a H to me. Terri hunted her butt off but nothing else reviled itself to us all morning. By noon the lakebed was a blow down we had to leave. It was a total white out of dust very difficult to drive or find our way off this now dusty mess. I found my tire tracks followed them off in the white out. Terri was driving the Kawasaki side by side off she surely ate lots of dust on her way off the lake bed. The blow down happened very quickly lasted for the afternoon. We are now in Ca. teaching flying I got to say I wish I was back hunting for flying rocks. On a great note, my wife Terri is hooked big big time now on meteorite hunting. And I got to say she is quite the hunter gal. Also, Larry is quite the fun knowing meteorite hunter great to hunt with. Now back to important issues in trying to figure out where to hunt on our way back home to WA State. Happy hunting to all! When I get time I will post a link for photos.

Greg, Jim, List, I found something while following up on a meteorite lead, a story of a witnessed fall by a farmer who picked up a 25 lb. rock that supposedly fell right in front of him. Many years later the great grandson wanted to get the 'meteorite' but it was nowhere to be found. He enlisted me to search the property where the farm once stood and I found this enigma in about an hour. When the great grandson saw the rock still setting on the ground where I found it he got really excited about, saying that he recognized it, I had found the 'meteorite'. I almost hate to dredge this story up but it is relevant to the thread. I found the rock in 2001. Within 3 weeks of its discovery and after passing through the hands of several esteemed meteorite experts It was sent to the U.S.Dept. of Energy for Al 26 counting. It was deemed by the U.S. D.O.E. not a meteorite due to a lack of Al 26. When I asked what it was they said they did not know, they were so certain it was a meteorite that they tested it for 100 times less Al 26 than they expected to find in a normal meteorite but still found none. I was told that it is a rock unlike any they had ever seen, perhaps from Disko Island (due to its Ni content) but not like anything they had seen from Disko Island. Since then, samples of it have been archived at three different Univerities for 'future study' should anything arise (or fall) to justify it. My own amateur research indicates to me that it may possibly be some sort of impact debris, possibly related to the KT impact. Two main reasons for this potential conclusion are the fact that Argon dating puts it at the right age, 75 ma. + / - 10 million, and the fact that there are some unusual crystals, tiny Cr spinels with a peculiar feature that are only found in one other place on Earth, the KT boundary layer. Those crystals, (in the KT) are pseudomorphs after spinel and the dirt immediately adjacent to the xtals is enriched in Cr. suggesting a possible relation. These crystals in the KT layer are thought to have condensed and precipitated from the plume that shrouded the planet. There is another camp that thinks the xtals may be from the impactor. To address Jim Wooddells concerns, let me say that I was told flat out that the reason they couldn't or wouldn't take this to the final conclussion was simple, it could jeopardize future funding and professional reputation. It seems that if a scientist spends a bunch of money and wastes a lot of time on an object that turns out to be nothing, monies and reputation are at stake. I can understand this I guess, but it seems like a sure way to ensure that the really odd stuff will not be recognized unless it's an irrefutable witnessed fall. Of course it could all be a big coincidence, just a man made rock that fooled the Argon dating process. Some have scoffed at it saying it is nothing unusual, but the majority of experts say that it is a very unusual rock. This is evident when looking at a sawn surface, you ca see that it's made of minerals with texture, it looks nearly identicle to D'Orbigny. In fact, several experts thought it was an angrite at first look. When I saw D'Orbigny the first time in ET's room I almost fell

I wish it wasn't cloudy, but it went in and out of view 4or 5 times. It was awesome. Incredible fragmentation, large pieces that had there own trains. It was a glowing train with parts breaking off. There were some clouds so my line of sight was a little broken up. )) Iam really ready to go hunt some fresh meteorite falls this month, as i Just got back home to WA State from my Florida airshow that I gotta do yearly. Last week during the show a tornado tore down the runways airshow grounds damaged about 70 aircraft ( updated tally of damage from FAA). Luckily my two show aircraft survived as we broke them down stored them in a 24ft trailer. My heart goes out to all my fellow aviators that lost there dream aircraft to this big Florida storm. Luckily no one was killed . Sure ready for some of these April green NEO to help produce some meteorites on the ground out here in the western USA. I wonder how many SR hunters headed to TENN. to give it a look over ? Were there ever any reports of sonic booms any where near the area? I did not read of any my self. looks to be a mixture of small pastures farm fields, Lots of Trees some water. If any ones out there now I hope you get some new finds ASAP.

I had the pleasure of hunting with Todd Parker and Larry Atkins recently in the Arizona desert. While Larry and I were sitting on a hill taking a water break with Brix, Larry's phone rang with a very excited Todd on the other end. We could see him down below us, so we quickly rushed over to see what he had found. We saw a beautiful chondrite in situ. Todd was recording his find and preparing to take a photograph when Brix ran up and gave the meteorite a sniff and a lick. Todd was the first one to see the meteorite and Brix was the first (and only) one to lick it! : ) It is a 30-40 gram chondrite with fusion crust and visible metal flakes on on the broken end. It looks like Lawrence may have another meteorite to classify from Arizona. Congratulations Todd!

Re: [meteorite-list] Maybe I Should Have My Head Checked
Hi Larry nice footage of your finds. I think the word you may have been trying to say was ineffable. I fill the same way when I locate a flying rock thrown down at us from the universe . That pure joyous filling I get when I find one is what keeps me looking for em ineffable [ɪnˈɛfəbəl] adj 1. too great or intense to be expressed in words Thanks for sharing those ineffable moments Scott Johnson U.S. AirBorne Sport Aviation LLC Eagles Nest Airpark Sport Pilot C.F.I WSC-L WSC-S www.usairborne.com i...@usairborne.com Office 509-780-0554 Cell 509-780-8377 -- From: Larry Atkins thetop...@aol.com Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 2:21 PM To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Maybe I Should Have My Head Checked Hello List, This is my first youtube video, no music, no credits, nothing fancy. I just wanted to poke a little fun at myself and share some of the excitement I get when finding meteorites. It's 2 clips, the first is from Franconia. It's kinda funny, I seem to take this documentation stuff serious! The second clip is from Mifflin. It's a brief, intimate view of my passion for meteorite hunting. If you were one of the few people that got a piece of my find you certainly need to see this! It's like you got a tiny piece of my being. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Feyy4W4rSrU Sincerely, Larry Atkins IMCA # 1941 Ebay alienrockfarm __ 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 __ 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] Cargo Muchacho Meteorite hunt (Bill Sajkowicz where are you?)
and we passed each other head on. We both had a surprised look on our faces as we slid by each other. Both of our 4x4 units had meteorite hunting sticks pocking out the rear. We were both on our own missions and just gave a smile and a nod to each other. A bit later I kicked my butt for not stopping to talk with this fella as I had a inner feel it was very likely the rare bird himself Bill Sajkowicz out doing what he does so well. Terri I had a great month playing hunting around the Cargo Muchacho Mts. Our base camp was on one of my pilot friends 120 acres that was once the Pilot knob DWTC. It was kinda sad leaving as it stays so nice warm around this area all winter. The desert pavement at camp was great for flying off of, So I did a bit of fun flying during our stay. For Jan we relocated to a new Meteorite base camp 10 miles SE of Parker AZ . I grabbed a hanger for my sport aircraft here at Parker airport , and have been out hunting for new finds. Flew out to Danby checked to see if its dry yet. Then Terri I went and spent a full day hunting it. Now Iam back hunting Desert pavement sites I located by flying that looks promising. On our was north to Parker we stopped in at Quartzsite and I picked up a nice little Mars Shergottite complete stone with fusion cut NWA 2375. Thanks Much Mohammed ALI HMANI it was great meeting you doing biz with you. Now I got a little of plant mars living with me. Next new project is to Fly low level over the Old Woman Mountains . I want to see if I can spot any areas in the area of the old woman find that look like it could be in impact scar, or just anything out of the ordinary. I hope to film it in HD. On Google earth just NW of the O.W find location is a BIG JET? At 1st it looked like a crashed jet. But thinking more about it I feel it's a Jet in mid air flight Google earth took its satellite pic as it was flying. Anyone know if there is a crashed Jet NW of O.W. MTS? Trying to figure out now if we can come visit the Tucson show that's coming up quickly . It would be fun to meet yall and put faces to names If your out there Bill Sajkowicz I would love to talk with you. I will get a link to PIcs ASAP Have a great day Scott Johnson U.S. AirBorne Sport Aviation LLC Eagles Nest Airpark Sport Pilot C.F.I WSC-L WSC-S www.usairborne.com i...@usairborne.com Office 509-780-0554 Cell 509-780-8377 Scott Johnson U.S. AirBorne Sport Aviation LLC Eagles Nest Airpark Sport Pilot C.F.I WSC-L WSC-S www.usairborne.com i...@usairborne.com Office 509-780-0554 Cell 509-780-8377 __ 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] Happy Holidays from the Sonoran Desert M Hunting camp
Happy Holidays from the Sonora Desert . We got 5 hours of FOG here in the desert today, kinda strange. Only have seen it twice before in my life. Its been quite a long time since my last post to the list, as I had to go back to my job teaching folks to fly for a few weeks. I wanted to Wish you all a great and wonderfully joyous holiday season. I also wanted to say congratulations to all the folks that have made 1st finds lately. It is truly a out of this world feeling finding space rocks that flew in from outer space. Kind of hard to explain it to folks off the street what a truly amazing thing it is. Also a big congratulation to the Hunters that have had there finds classified as of lately. Great job to all of you. I finally got my Nov. Ca. find cut open she looks lovely. We have been hunting the Sonora desert the last few weeks and I have found some quite strange things I must say. But nothing that I can for sure say yes it's a meteorite. I got a few that need cut looked at inside. I just gotta say Meteorite hunting is so fun exciting to do that it really does not matter if you bring home the space rocks on every hunt. I just love just being out there in the middle of nowhere playing with mother nature , taking pics, smelling the different smells of the desert. Finding strange, weird things trying to figure out what the heck they are. Finding strange rocks that could possibly be a rare meteorite then researching them, Studying the earths colors textures on Google earth then going out and flying over it in person. Then hunting those areas you have studied in detail. Cutting , slicing, and polishing all my great finds. And now the excitement of getting special finds classified by Science to see what type of Meteorite I found. The excitement just keep growing. Now with new dreams of hunting fresh falls from around the globe . Plus studying old falls that need to be looked over again and again. WOW, I feel like the luckiest guy on earth. I wanted to send a special thanks to some of my fellow meteorite hunters for all you have done this last year to make my journey into the world of meteorites easer by watching videos and reading your stories of Hunts from around U.S. and world. Out here in the desert I don't get T.V. stations to watch. So I have now down loaded my favorite TV show onto my laptop. I now have both seasons 1 and 2 of Meteorite Men to watch any time I wish. So a special thanks to Robert Verish Moni, Rob Matson , Ruben Garcia, Steve Arnold and Geoff Notkin , Sonny Clary , Count Deiro, And John Harrison my Id M hunting buddy. Plus my wife Terri for putting up with crazy me all the crazy wildly fun things I love in life. There are many many more so thanks all of you. Happy Holidays and Happy Meteorite hunting over the Holidays . May you find that rock of your dreams.
