Hi to everyone, hope all is well.
This is my second ad of the week, but I wont be doing one for next week, so
just consider this as next weeks, a few days early.
I am having a pre Thanksgiving Day sale on my site, I will be adding new
Meteorites each day until Friday 11:59 pm EST when the sale
Not something new, but something that I find rather, well, perplexing...
Imagine the luck, or lack thereof for meteorite hunters and scientists,
of the largest fireball in the United States in years, (at least since
I've been into meteorites), most probably a decade, happening over one

by it's near-neighbor with Formula 410, WD41, and Heinz 58 Sauce.

Yes, it was an interesting post. And since the list is slow, I'll add to it.
I found an interesting chondrule (?) in an unclassified stone the
other day. It's a couple of mm across and contains quite a bit of
metal. Would this be some sort of chondrule or something else.
I posted a picture
I wonder if this weird crystal structure found in a slice of JaH 055 would
qualify for being called a chondrule or a small inclusion.

Hey Rob,
Yes you're right about the area of land, and the chances of it hitting
something of that size is just as good as another land mass that size,
and it will probably give the conspiracy theorists lots of ammo to use
for a long time to come.
However I was referring more to the unlucky
Rob:
Is there any way the strewn field could be on the 'edge' of the property line
and perhaps some pieces are outside of the base?
I'm kinda surprised no one (within the military) will look for it to donate to
the Smithsonian.
Oh well,
Greg S.
Hi Greg,
It doesn't look like it, based on triangulation of four cameras and
triangulation of the acoustic (seismic) data. The closest margin
would be the northeast boundary of the base, but I think this point
is still quite far from where the nearest (lightest) meteorites
could have fallen.
Just a thought, if this meteorite is ever found, and if it's on the
base, would it be called the Dugway meteorite? ;)
Regards,
Eric

As a long time neighbor (I have land in Nevada across the border north of
Baker, Utah) of the Toole Facility, over the years I have met a number of
scientists and test site workers. From what I gathered from them, the main
problem with going into the restricted areas is that their are pockets
I quite agree that no meteorite is worth getting anthrax, or something
equally nasty. That said, the predicted strewnfield does get quite
close to one of the east-west roads crossing the base -- in fact, the
strewn field may actually intersect this road. So I would think that

How about the Area 52 meteorite.

meteorites, gold nuggets and coins in Australia what would be the best metal
detector to get?
What things in general does one look for in buying a metal detector?

Yes...after reading this..look at the lower paragraphs...It's the last
place you would want to go hunting...who would beleive it could land in
such a place?

Hi Dean,
I would draw a line between gold ( meteorites) and coins. A machine for all
around hunting usually lowers the performance of the machine in those different
styles of hunting. So many detectorists choose to own 2 machines (one for
gold/meteorites and one for coins).
For hunting gold
Hi guys,
Just a heads up... The Meteorite Wiki is back up and running. There's
been some minor changes and no data loss on the transfer/upgrade of the
server.
This was a good test to see if we were able to move the wiki without
much trouble. It has been moved successfully and we're happy at

A great place for those newbe's that would just die for a chance to look for
meteorites.
As for me, no longer able to actively search, I think it best to wish one fell
through my roof before I die.

Hi Greg and List,
Being quite familiar with the area if someone would provide definitive
position estimates of the location of the fall, I would provide information on
how to access the area. Safely. As of this writing..it appears we are talking
about East of Granite Mountain in an area

That one is really neat - perhaps it could be more helpful to triangulate as
the meteor went through the clouds. This site has some maps.

Hi Tom,
I'd say neither. It looks like a little graveyard. Maybe two graveyards divided
by a picket fence. You have very sharp eyes to have noticed this!

A good gold machine can find coins, a good coin machine can't necessarily find
gold.
White's Goldmaster series VLF detectors are great,
Fisher's Gold Bug 2 is GREAT,
and Minelabs 2100's are simple and great!
or you can dive deeper into minelabs detectors and buy some really expensive
detectors

Hello All,
After Michael Johnson posted the NWA 5486 Picture-of-the-Day on Sunday,
November 22, 2009, I have received numerous inquiries if NWA 5486 was
available. This is the meteorite with the HUGE 'Chondrule-Like' Object as
described by the classifying scientist. I felt the most fair way
Hello Tom, excellent photo!
I believe this is one of those heated-cooled-heated-quenched cycled
chondrules and the crosses are the seed/loci of crystallization: the
de-vitrification of the glass matrix into ordered alignment of the molecules(
aka crystallized solid). In other words, this is a
