Re: [meteorite-list] NO REGRETS
Hi All, Robert mentioned his 22.61 kg oriented nose cone below, but it's actually Dhofar 1433 (not 1431). On the one hand it's hard to believe he'd forget the number of this spectacular piece, but on the other hand he's found so many meteorites I'm sure it must be hard to keep track ;-) Anyway, I was fortunate enough to acquire an end section from one of the three smaller fragments Robert also recovered; it's here on this page, and if you scroll down you'll see the unbelievable specimen he was referring to: http://www.fallingrocks.com/Collections/Dhofar1433.htm. Epic...just epic.

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 __ 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 Robert, Thanks for your informative email. I've yet to experience my first hunt, so your information helps me understand some of the intricacies of meteorite hunting rules and ediquettes.
