[meteorite-list] Meteorite Men versus The Hunt
Hi all - Another market factor is the television exposure that Meteorite Men provided. Now that that project has sadly ended (hi geoff, steve), perhaps the thing to do would be for all of you to take videos of your hunts to recent falls, and then those videos could be combined into television shows, something like a real reality show of these races to locate and collect the pieces. Of course, that would require some cooperation with your rivals, but it wold likely be good for the market as a whole. The revenue might provide some protection against failed huns. I do not know who Geoff and Steve's producers and editors were, and if they would be interested in such a project, but my guess is that they might be. good hunting, E.P.

Me: Meteorite Men Her: Oh, meteorite... I thought you were saying Meet your right man I know the show isn't quite new, but I never got the chance to watch it since I'm not sure if they ran it on our regional Discovery Channel yet, since I barely touch the remote control lately.

According to Wikipedia, third season ran between 28 November 2011 and 9 January 2012. As I said, I haven't got the chance to see any of the episodes yet, but I plan to fix this soon.

Dear Listees: For U.S. members who don't get Science Channel and would like to catch an episode of Meteorite Men, Discovery Channel is very shortly having a special screening of one of our favorites -- the Henbury Craters adventure from Season Two -- at 1 pm Eastern. I am also very pleased to announce that Meteorite Men just won a second Telly Award. Season Three is in production and we'll be back on the air in the fall with eight new episodes. And finally, a correction: Thank you to those of you who pointed out (from my post last night) that Juancheng is -- of course -- a witnessed fall from China, not Japan, which I did know : ) but I must have just not been paying attention. Sorry about that!

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Men at NEAF 2011, New York, This Weekend
Dear Listees: Steve Arnold and I are featured guests at the 20th anniversary Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF) this coming weekend at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York. NEAF is one of the country's top science forums, and an important educational outreach event. Vendors demonstrate the latest in telescope technology and there are numerous presentations and workshops. Steve and I will be giving a presentation on meteorite hunting for the International Dark Sky Association on Saturday, April 16 at 1 pm. On Sunday, at 4 pm, we are the NEAF keynote speakers and will host an audio visual presentation about the making of Season Two of Meteorite Men, and talk about our plans for the upcoming third season. We will also be displaying the 109-lb Alpha pallasite found on the Meteorite Men pilot. We'll have an impressive display of meteorites and collectibles on hand, including new finds and acquisitions. In addition, popular author, astronomer, and meteorite specialist Dr. Mike Reynolds will be in attendance, as will our excellent friend Geoff Cintron, formerly of Island Meteorite. Astronomy magazine, Sky Telescope, and Astronomy Now are among the many other noted vendors and publications that will be represented. Details: http://www.rocklandastronomy.com/NEAF/index.html Steve and I warmly invite any List members in the tri-state area to come along and say hello. NEAF is a great event and you will not be disappointed. The college is only about a 45-minute drive from NYC, with plenty of free parking.

Hi List, Geoff is absolutely right about NEAF. If you are interested in optics, astronomy, or meteorites, it is well worth a visit. The latest in cutting-edge optics is always on display and every year Televue has it's famous Blem Sale where you can buy eyepieces like Naglers and Panoptics at a substantial discount. Plus, Alan Traino (one of the key organizers of NEAF) is a great guy and he makes sure that NEAF always has interesting vendors and speakers. If you are in the area, don't miss it.

I have been a list member for only about 2 months. I wonder if I was the only one that thought this was the Steve Arnold from the Meteorite Men? Finally after this post, I realize that I was wrong in my assumption. Man I feel stupid. From this Steve Aronld's previous post I thought Steve from the Meteorite Men was recovering from skin cancer, wasn't going to be on the show next year, taking a year off from meteorites and that he wasn't going to be at the Tucson show.

Hi Geoff: Everytime I give talks around the SE about meteorites, people ask me Have you seen Meteorite Men? I always have to say No b/c I don't have cable T.V. A few days ago I bought Series 1 through Amazons DVD's On Demand and now watch it on my home computer. It's awesome! I love the way you and Steve pick at each other. I love the enthusiasm you both show for your work. I'm frustrated with you when you find an axe head at the bottom of a deep hole. The narration is terrific and now I'm not only a big fan, but a groupie!

Hi Abe, You got me so excited about the DVD release that I went to Amazon.com to purchase it and found that what there selling is on demand viewing of the episodes at $1.99 each.

Abe posted: Is there any place that I can buy Season 1 and episodes of Season 2 online other than Amazon? Dear Abe, Todd, and all: Meteorite Men Season One is currently airing in Canada on the Discovery Science channel. I'm sorry to report that we do not yet have a DVD release date for any Meteorite Men episodes. When Steve and I were at Science Channel/ Discovery HQ recently, we asked again about this, but no decision has been yet been made. Season Two is not yet half-way through its premieres here in the US, so there's no chance of a S2 release until all the new episodes have aired. Once S2 has gone through its first run, there will be 15 Meteorite Men episodes total, including the pilot, so our hope is they may do a boxed set release of all of them. I will certainly post news to the M- List when we have it. As for the Amazon downloads, you can watch them directly on your computer, without the need for any additional hardware. The image quality is quite good for the pay-per-view episodes (and there are no ads!), so that is at least one option for you. One of you asked how to find out which episodes you might have missed, and you may find our Meteorite Men Episode Guide to be useful for that: http://meteoritemen.com/meteorite-men-episode-guide.htm Finally, we constantly post news about the show -- including air dates and overseas broadcast outlets, photos, etc. -- on our Facebook and Twitter pages, and invite you to connect with us there if you would like to know more: http://www.facebook.com/meteoritemen http://twitter.com/meteoritemen Thank you for your interest and we hope you enjoy the show.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Men Airs in Canada this weekend + New US Season
Dear Listees: Greetings all. A number of our Canadian friends on the M-List asked me to post a reminder when Meteorite Men started airing in Canada. I'm pleased to announce that we are now showing on the brand new Discovery Science Canada (formerly Discovery Civilization) and there are five episodes airing tomorrow and Monday. Details are here: http://www.sciencechannel.ca/showpage.aspx?sid=28040 Steve and I just returned from the ends of the Earth yesterday and we have completed primary location shooting for Meteorite Men Season Two, which will premiere in the US one month from today -- November 2 on Science Channel and Science Channel HD. Season Two of Meteorite Men consists of eight new one-hour episodes and features many exotic international locations -- some are famous meteorite sites and a couple may be entirely new to most of you. I estimate that Steve and I have traveled at least 60,000 miles since we began work in June. Several episodes will feature the amazing new Meteorite Men motorcycle, built for us by Orange County Choppers of American Chopper fame, and Steve and I also recently guest starred on Episode Four of the current American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior season on TLC. More about the MM bike here: http://www.aerolite.org/articles/american-chopper-meteorite-bike.htm And additional info is available on our official sites: http://meteoritemen.com http://www.facebook.com/meteoritemen http://twitter.com/meteoritemen Finally, there is a US Meteorite Men marathon repeating all six Season One episodes on Science Channel this Monday, Oct. 4, commencing at 9 am. Details: http://science.discovery.com/tv-schedules/series.html?paid=48.16200.126184.36729.2 I hope List members will find the new series to be informative and entertaining. And it's great to be back in Tucson after many months on the road!

Hello Listers, I was doing an Internet search today on meteorites and came across a write up about NWA meteorites. I would have to say it was a good write up considering there isn't much about the history of NWA's on the Internet. The write up covered topics from the NWA gold rush, to how this affected sales and peoples desert meteorite collections, and how NWA meteorites by some can be seen as inferior to other meteorites. All these points do bring up some interesting view points in the meteorite community. I wonder what peoples take is on NWA meteorites and how the classification works or doesn't work with some finds? Why I ask this is because some of the NWA meteorites on eBay are NWA xxx meteorites, meaning those meteorites haven't been classified and probably wont. Now to me for every NWA meteorite excluding the Lunar and Martian meteorites could be almost unique in its owe if there is only a select few people that get these stones classified, making the NWA meteorite market confusing and regulated by only classifying certain meteorites and disregarding others. And as for selling NWA meteorites how does one determine the price point when the TKW and location is unknown? Is it to be or not to be when collecting NWA meteorites. this draw back could affect the classification and make it more confusing compared to finds in the US and Europe. If I went to the Muffin strewn field and found some meteorites, I wouldn't have to get them classified because of the documentation of a fall being there. But on the other hand, if I went to Africa and found some meteorites I would be SOL and the only way I could know what the meteorite was is if I got it classified, which I am not sure how much that costs, but I bet it can be a pretty penny depending what your getting done on it.

So it's possibly not so important, where exactly on your fingernail they will hit. ...and as strained you'll squint your eyes, it's impossible to match a Shawn, a Mike, an Aziz, a Martin, a Bevan... on your nail :-) Best!

All, Greetings from Sunny London. Finally a break in our shooting of the second season of Meteorite Men, just in time to get home to watch some TV. Just as a quick heads up, Geoff and I are going to be guests on American Chopper this Thursday on TLC. For those who don't know, we get our meteorite bike from Orange County Choppers so it should be fun.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Men on DISCOVERY Channel Tonight + UK on Quest
Hi Geoff: I enjoyed the episode last night very much. Beautiful find by Steve, but you did find the first one. I had a thought at the end - I think a great episode would be what happens to a 'type' specimen after arriving at a University to be classified. You could have a variety of samples and show how they are cut and prepared and then how the thin sections are made. Then how are they probed and then explain the different classifications. You could include a lot of information and make it not too technical; and of course, what make some meteorites more valuable. I have gotten meteorites classified and it would be really neat to see the entire process. I hope you get a second season. Keep at it... and one day you'll find one on that Mesa. Greg S.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Men - was Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - March 22, 2010
I would agree that a few shows on historic and educational outreach would be a good thing, but Im sure they probably have rather limited input on the direction of the show. That said, I would like to hear them comment of the possibilities of doing more in this area. The show is a great tool to bring more new people into meteorites, but as with anything (baseball cards, toys etc) when there is a value and increase in interest, there will be scammers that come in to try to make the quick buck. Overall, the show is one of the best marketing tools the meteorite world has seen. Keep it up guys, as others have said, there is room to grow!

As much as the Meteorite Men show has provided better awareness to meteorites in the general population, it has also spurred the conmen and get-rich-quick schemers. I think the show has been steered by producers to make it more appealing to viewers, but in doing so have placed far too much emphasis on monetary value and too little on scientific importance.

Most of them will not listen when you tell them their prized new Moon rock is a piece of quartz or their new Pallasite is nothing more then slag. They will become increasingly angry when you try to explain why. They know it is real because it looks just like the one they saw on TV and will not be told otherwise. I do not even respond any more as I do not like to be put in a position as the bay guy who has to break the news that their worthless rock will not make them the latest millionaire. This is what happens when the media focuses too much on the monetary aspect of meteorite collecting. It out weighs any educational benefit this type of show may have provided. The state Washington and Oregon suddenly announced their no collecting policy on federal land; the timing is uncanny. A lot of scam artists will also attach themselves if the smell of easy money is present. One just has to look at the most expensive meteorites on eBay to see this effect. Now, there is always a few fakes listed in the top dollar page. I would hate to see meteorite hunting/collecting go the way treasure hunting did 25 years ago when the avocation almost went extinct, mainly due to the press. Professional treasure hunters now avoid the press when values are put up. Just look at the Mel Fisher group who had to fight for a decade to keep a good portion of their major find due to the fact the press attached a billion dollar price tag to it. Everybody seemed to have a claim on it when they didn't lift a finger to find it. The press made it look easy when in fact Mel suffered many hardships including the loss of his sons life.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Men effects
Hey list, Interesting topic. I thought I would change the Subject Line though. Let me give you guys a little behind the scenes understanding of what happens in the making of Meteorite Men. There is a production company that owns the show by the name of LMNO Productions. They have been around maybe for 20 years with 150 or so different programs under their belt. Some were long running series, some were just one-offs, but they have a very experienced staff of professionals that know what they are doing. They came up with the idea of the Meteorite Men show after reading a front page story about me in the LA Times back in 2007. They had not seen anything about the earlier programs Geoff and I (nor anyone else) had been on when they called me that first time. They made a short 4 min video and pitched it to a handful of networks, and Science Channel gave them the best offer for a pilot, so they took it. Geoff and I were hired as the Talent and we were in show business! Now here is how it works: there is an Executive Producer assigned by the network to oversee the production of the episodes. Geoff and I have a boss, that is the show's Executive Producer who has a boss that is the owner of the LMNO Production Company. We all, in reality, have one customer, and that is the Science Channel's Executive Producer. If this one man is happy, we get paid. If he is not happy, they keep sending the video back to get it changed to how he likes it. Once it is adjusted to how he likes it, we get paid. In theory, the Executive Producer on the Network side hopefully knows what his network's audience will like, and he directs us all in the right direction. If not, he gets fired. Rest assured, nothing makes it onto your TV sets at home that is not exacly what he wants. Now, we have been told that if we do get a second season, the network will send the episodes from the first season to some very exhaustive market research, where carefully selected participants will sit in dark rooms watching the episodes with a dial in their hands. When they like something on the show, they dial it one way. When they don't like something, they dial it the other way. Sometimes this gets to be subconscious in the minds of the viewing research subjects. But it is very scientific, and it is the one way to actually trump the personal opinion of the networks EP. If every time my face is on screen, most or all the people turn their dials to the right, and every time Geoff is on screen, they turn it to the left...well...then there might jkust be tryouts for a replacement Meteorite Man to take one of our spots. If they don't like my Tshirt, or the way I go Oh, oh, oh... Right before each comercial. But rather they like how I say Geoff, look what I found! then we can rest ashured I will be instructed what to say or not say in the future, or by the magic of post-production I will say the right things before all the future commercial breaks. Each of first 7 episodes were quite different in many ways. It will be interesting what the market testing might end up revealing. If the key demographics don't like the values of the meteorite being revealed during the show, then I'm sure what our one customer wants will end up changing. And in turn, that will change the directives to our production company in how the put future shows together in post production. Starting a letter writing campaign to Science Channel might be tempting, but unless you have a Nielson Box, on your TV, I don't think it will help. Let me point out that about a dozen years or so ago, I did a promotional campaign in the media that generated 240 samples of suspected meteorites being sent to me. Out of that batch, 3 were genuine meteorites. I could have complained about the 79 wrongs for each 'rite, but I didn't. It is a numbers game. Yes it can get frustrating dealing with the wrongs and the people who send them in. May I suggest that if you are such a person who easily gets frustrated, don't solicit that people send you samples to evaluate. I'm sure there are more than enough others to pick up the slack. Who knows what all the good and bad will be from the Meteorite Men series? Let's have this discussion in 40 years, and if 20 of us talk then, we still will probably have 20 different takes on it then. I understand in general, some people are the glass is half empty pessimistic types, and they often really enjoy being negative. While others are the half full optimistic types. And of course everyone is entitled to their opinion. But, much, if not most of this is out of both Geoff's and my hands, not to mention anyone else reading this. What happens is going to happen anyway. So, my advice would be for people to plan to take advantage of the change(s) as best you can. Last night the US Congress passed some radical changes that will dramatically effect a lot of people's lives in respect to Health Care

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Men Comment
Hi Paul, Following on from your information about bog ironI was recently shown a picture by a friend who had visited Orkney, off the coast of Scotland. It showed a rock labeled as a meteorite in a cabinet at the museum there. I had never heard of that before and followed it up with emails to the museum and other investigations. Apparently that was collected after a fireball was seen over the island many years ago and although it is still labelled as 'meteorite' in their small museum it has been independently looked at by a local geologist who seems sure it is bog iron. Apparently it is commonly found on the Island in the peaty areas. I too am still not confident what that stone may be...I am sure it has never been tested for nickel. Meteorite or Meteorwrong? A new British meteorite or not? The finder's family say they have some other pieces and would send me samples, but nothing yet. Anyone know the exact mechanism that forms bog iron?

Hi all, To everyone in the UK, I have found the schedule info for Meteorite Men being broadcast in the UK. The channel is called 'Quest' which is a Discovery channel without having the 'Discovery' name. Its on Sky channel 154 and on Freeview channel 38. It airs on Monday nights at 21:00hrs, episode 2 is being shown Monday 1st March and episode 3 on Monday 8th March. Thats as far as the schedules show on the website (www.questtv.co.uk) so i assume it will carry on each week at the same time and that episode 1 has already been shown.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Men Season Finale Tonight
Darryl and all, Thanks for being so kind in helping us out at this year's show in compiling footage of what happens at the Tucson show.That thanks goes out to all our other friends who were also willing to jump in front of the camera to help us make our show a lot better. It was exciting to see footage shot less than 3 weeks ago make it into tonight's episode. We got quite a bit of footage in Tucson that includes a lot of our friends. If Meteorite Men gets a second season, more of this captured footage including more of our friends, customers and fellow hunters will be able to be featured. We feel there is so much more of the meteorite hunting and collecting world to show everyone, we just hope the viewers and the suits at the network feel the same way.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Men - Where do the dollar valuescomefrom?
getting $700,000 in green bills is a long shot, but if it can be traded for, say 14 items each in the $50,000 range, and those could be converted to green cash, is it wrong to say it is worth that. Need I remind everyone that the finder of the Tagish Lake 800 gram rock (similar in size and composition as Sonny's) got $800,000 in Canadian money for his find. Sonny is in the business, and as such, he really might realize $700k for his CM1 rock over time. Could he take it to a pawn shop in vegas and get $700,000? No, I would think not. But if someone else finds a CM1 here in the US and wants to sell theirs for $72/g ($50,000 / 699g) then cool.

Hell Mike, Steve, and List, Right, but you're applying the price per gram that would apply to small pieces in retail to a much larger stone. A single gram may be worth a thousand dollars (in this case, it's probably justified, given what comparable material is known to sell for), but the simple fact of the matter is that it would take decades to sell off 700 grams at that price in small pieces. Ask any dealer who's held a stable asking price for material for which they are the only source. As a complete stone, I estimate that the highest offer on it would reach $60-70,000. Don't get me wrong - it could sell for more, but...it's wholesale. Yes, it might be worth more in a sense, but I believe that the general consensus here has always been that these rocks are worth what people were willing to pay for them. I haven't asked Sonny, but based on what I know of the market, I doubt that he's gotten an offer as high as 100k for it. He might well get a better offer, but that would make it one of the more costly meteorites to actually sell - in the past decade. So, no. I think it's safe to say that $700,000 is not close to a reasonable estimate. Even if you assume $1000/g for smaller pieces, you're not taking cutting losses into account, which would take it to at most $500k, or thereabouts, and it would take so long to sell that simply stating a price like that is rather deceptive. There's a reason that the asking price for the 420kg Fukang main mass is in the 2-3 million dollar range (about $5-6/g), as opposed to being $16.8 million. Fukang may be worth $40/g. That doesn't mean that a large piece is worth that much. And the same principle applies across the board - a single acre of land will run you more per acre than will an acre of land in a hundred-acre parcel. And if you buy ten cars from a dealer, they'll probably give you something of a discount, whereas if you buy only one...not so much. I appreciate the optimistic quote from the market's perspective, but...it's just not reasonable to say that the rock is worth that much when it wouldn't fetch that on the market.

. (or an insured house fire) Don't get me wrong. I am not picking on Sonny's awesome specimen. That is truly an amazing find and any meteorite hunter would cream himself upon finding it. The only thing better would be if Sonny found the first US lunaite. And my dollar amount gripe was specifically targeted at Sonny's CM1. Even those dry lake bed weathered chondrites seem overpriced at $1.50 a gram or $2 a gram. I guess they are probably worth that much now because they have been on TV, but I can buy prettier weathered ordinary-chondrites from NWA for a 20 cents a gram. A collector looking for a cool rock that was on TV and was found by a famous meteorite hunter will pay extra for an OC from Meteorite Men - but most collectors who buy weathered OC's are also the types who look for bargains and will buy the stones that cost .20 cents a gram and pass on the more expensive ones, regardless of their connection to TV. Heck, I just traded 100 grams of trinitite for 4000 grams of weathered uNWA stones. I won't say what my cost on trinitite is, but I can say that the batch of uNWA I traded for is prettier than the dry lake bed specimens (for the most part, I do have some UGLY ones though) and my cost was less than $1 a gram - substantially less. (FWIW, the ugliest ones are going into a rock tumbler) I just don't want this emphasis on dollar values to come back and bite us in the ass. I can imagine Steve (or any hunter) going up to some landowner and attempting to broker a deal to hunt on the land, and the landowner will expect $10,000 for every 100-gram OC that is pulled out of the dirt on his land - because there is an inflated sense of what these stones are worth.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Men episode 5 video
Hello Listers, Here is a link to Meteorite Men, episode 05 for those who haven't seen this one. I tried to look for episodes 2,3,4 but can only find 1 and 5. In this episode Sonny is a guest on the show and presents his Moapa Valley CM1 meteorite, valued at $700,000. I am wondering how much the Paris CM meteorite would bring in this market for the fact its the only CM meteorite to exists, now that's a rare find. Lastly, after watching this episode I could see why alot of numbers $$$ were thrown around this episode because half of the episode showed Steve, Geoffrey, and Sonny repetitively picking up weathered old meteorite fragments over and over on the dry lake bed in AZ. But again, I did enjoy the episode and at the end when Steve and Geoffrey go to ASU to get the classification done on the meteorites that they found on the dry lake bed. Thank you Meteorite Men.

Jason, I agree getting $700,000 in green bills is a long shot, but if it can be traded for, say 14 items each in the $50,000 range, and those could be converted to green cash, is it wrong to say it is worth that. Need I remind everyone that the finder of the Tagish Lake 800 gram rock (similar in size and composition as Sonny's) got $800,000 in Canadian money for his find. Sonny is in the business, and as such, he really might realize $700k for his CM1 rock over time. Could he take it to a pawn shop in vegas and get $700,000? No, I would think not. But if someone else finds a CM1 here in the US and wants to sell theirs for $72/g ($50,000 / 699g) then cool.

Hell Mike, Steve, and List, Right, but you're applying the price per gram that would apply to small pieces in retail to a much larger stone. A single gram may be worth a thousand dollars (in this case, it's probably justified, given what comparable material is known to sell for), but the simple fact of the matter is that it would take decades to sell off 700 grams at that price in small pieces. Ask any dealer who's held a stable asking price for material for which they are the only source. As a complete stone, I estimate that the highest offer on it would reach $60-70,000. Don't get me wrong - it could sell for more, but...it's wholesale. Yes, it might be worth more in a sense, but I believe that the general consensus here has always been that these rocks are worth what people were willing to pay for them. I haven't asked Sonny, but based on what I know of the market, I doubt that he's gotten an offer as high as 100k for it. He might well get a better offer, but that would make it one of the more costly meteorites to actually sell - in the past decade. So, no. I think it's safe to say that $700,000 is not close to a reasonable estimate. Even if you assume $1000/g for smaller pieces, you're not taking cutting losses into account, which would take it to at most $500k, or thereabouts, and it would take so long to sell that simply stating a price like that is rather deceptive. There's a reason that the asking price for the 420kg Fukang main mass is in the 2-3 million dollar range (about $5-6/g), as opposed to being $16.8 million. Fukang may be worth $40/g. That doesn't mean that a large piece is worth that much. And the same principle applies across the board - a single acre of land will run you more per acre than will an acre of land in a hundred-acre parcel. And if you buy ten cars from a dealer, they'll probably give you something of a discount, whereas if you buy only one...not so much. I appreciate the optimistic quote from the market's perspective, but...it's just not reasonable to say that the rock is worth that much when it wouldn't fetch that on the market.

The other one, as I understand, sold out quickly at several thousand dollars per gram. Sony has placed a value of $1,000 per gram thus the estimation of his 699g rock at $700,000 is probably reasonable for a US find. I was quoted as saying these ordinary chondrite pieces were probably worth $1 per gram but I will probably list them on eBay for $5 per gram (for the 2-10g size pieces) and see how they do.

Hi Folks, Is it just me, or do the dollar values for some of the meteorites shown on Meteorite Men seem a little inflated? This is not a criticism, but just a straight question. As a collector and part-time dealer, the prices given for some of these specimens seems a bit on the optimistic side. From a dealer's perspective, if the public thinks a meteorite is worth more than it actually is, the dealer charge more for them. From a hunter's perspective, if the public thinks a meteorite is worth more than it actually is, they can have unrealistic expectations for what their rocks are worth. Steve has spoken about this on the List previously, because landowners will have unrealistic expectations of what their specimens are worth - and this gives hunters fits who are trying to buy specimens or cut deals with landowners. So, where exactly are these dollar values coming from? Who is setting them and putting them on the screen during
[meteorite-list] Meteorite Men versus The Jenna Jameson story on E!
Hi all - Instead of being in sunny Tucson, here is was freezing in Illinois, reading your messages about what a wonderful time you were having, and watching tv, when low and behold, the latest chapter of Meteorite Men came on. But when the commercials came on, there was the Jenna Jameson Story on E!: Ease it on in... Don't wreck the boat... I'm sweaty... I don't want to waste another day walking up the hill again.. That's a big one... Must be as big as an apple... Ruben, I got it figured out. All you have to do is convine Jameson that doing a meteorite hunt will not chip her nails, and stardom awaits.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Men, Jim Kriegh and Strewnfield Map
Hi all, After the great episode of Meteorite Men the other day I was flooded with emails (Probably due to my Jim Kriegh tribute on youtube) of fans wanting to know more about Jim and his Gold Basin map. Then yesterday as I was looking through some old VHS tapes I found one about Jim! I added a few pictures, a little narration and put it on the Internet. The video is less than five minutes but it's pretty cool watching Jim teach the same way he taught me 12 years ago. Oh ya, his secret map is included in the video! Take a look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MGNGAV5D5I Thanks Geoff and Steve for telling it right!

Hi again list.I missed the opening of meteorite men on wed.I looked at the wrong times.So I was able to dvr it and watched it yesterday.Steve and geoff you put on a really great show.I look forward to many more and seeing you both in tucson.I am big fan of 24,with keifer sutherland.On the first 4 hours there was an actor whom I remember seeing on the first X-FILES season.In these 4 episodes he played a character whose name was MIKE FARMER.He did not look like he was selling meteorites,more like killing to get them.Just an unusal take here and I thought it was interesting.

Geoff and Steve, After watching this show half a dozen times I still find it entertaining! From Geoff harpooning his magnet stick to the look Steve gives Geoff as he takes his English Breakfast tea, this show is a blast ( from the past? )! I'm going to very much enjoy my time in Tucson this year after sitting out last year.

I haven't seen the episode myself yet, but some of our friends in the production office have, and it promises to be a fun adventure and (don't tell anyone I said this, but) we do find some meteorites in this episode. Geoff and I are keenly aware that this TV series might be the best opportunity for the meteorite collecting community to put our best foot forward and show the world a glimpse into what makes our passion of collecting so exciting. Of course we have to mix the geeky science with a little humor and drama, or people won't stick around for the end of the show, and won't come back next week. I want to give a HUGE amount of credit to our LMNO Productions team. We have had over 95 people working on this show on the production side, not to mention the hundreds of people working over on the Science Channel and Discovery Network to make this happen. Millions of dollars have been invested to bring this episode to air, and it is very humbling realizing that while Geoff and I have our faces on screen, NONE of this would be possible without the team behind the scenes.

I have to thank my amazing wife, Qynne, and the two greatest daughters a guy could ever hope to have, Lauren and Kelsey who have shared me and my time with this calling. A big thanks goes out to Phil Mani who on a gut feeling supported the Brenham adventure a few years back, which was one domino in the series to fall that led to all of this.

All of you guys are getting your financial return on the project, but also know from me that you guys also deserve a monster sized Thank You. You are appreciated more than you will ever know.

If it weren't for Geoff's talents and true gentlemanly qualities, none of this, and I mean NONE of this would have happened. For some reason, one guy hunting rocks on TV is not enough to make anyone take a second look. And even two guys hunting for space rocks is not enough either.
