Mike,
That show, and several others, might be a little less upsetting if they
did not call it Reality TV, if they were honest about it and called
them Fantasy TV.
If that is what kids are watching, well, I am sorry. I know that if I
had kids they would not be allowed to watch that.
And no I
Yes...amazing event again...thanks to Dirk as always for posting the videos.

Count and Graham,
Thank you both! These video files need copied onto a CD-ROM for storage; I
wouldnt mind a copy if someone can get them. If this event proves to be a real
bolide event, which I think that it is, it is one of the best examples since
the 1970s Grand Teton, Wyoming
The Diggers may be ok guys, but that show is complete crap. Like
Farmer said, every one of those shows is staged and phony. It's nice
to see some cool historical items here and there, but without the
scripted drama. Can't watch it without my BP boiling.

Dont' forget about the show Honey Boo Boo Can cable T.V. dumb down any more?
We don't need any more reality entertainers where anybody can be a star for a
fleeting moment. What does Chunkin Pumpkins have to do with science? I enjoy
real science and miss the old programming. It is sad that

I hate most of the reality TV shows that have been on for the last 20 years
or so, but I do end up watching Diggers, Prospectors, Meteorite Men and Gold
Rush every now and then because they are all related to my favorite hobbies
(digging for mineral crystals, meteorites and cool old stuff). Yes,
It is just really stupid to say that this could be Kitt Carson's powder horn
or Nectar Hannibal's razor-blade. This is entertainment for the lowest end of
the spectrum. It belongs on MTV after Real World, not on National Geographic. I
want the hour I wasted last night back! I would have been

Michael Farmer, why is posing a could be statement stupid? They say
could be because those things could be true. They're probably
not, but it's fun to hypothesize and use your imagination. You could
be an asshole, but I don't know you other than what you write to this
list. The only stupid
Mike,
What, your not going to cancel your next meteorite fall hunting trip in order
to stay home and watch the Diggers and Honey Boo Boo marathons?
I can't think of a better edumucation
It seems there are too many channels on cable and these cheaply produced shows
that rerun dozens of items
I guess I am just not in tune with the dreamers out there. It could have been
Napoleon's powder horn as well, but it wasn't and so pretending that it might
have been is dumb. Sorry to be so hard on your buddies, but this show sucks,
and it makes those of us who carry a metal detector look like
Yeah, no, actually no, I will not be taking cameras in tow, Ill just do my
thing and bring home meteorites to fill museum, scientific, and collectors
collections. I won't be having cameras following me and having me plant
meteorites all over the place and pretend to dig them up. Ive already
Discovery, Learning Channel, and AE are wastelands of tripe now. I
remember when TLC had learning on it. I remember when Discovery was
about science. I remember when AE had arts on it. Now it's Dog
the Bounty Hunter and Pawn Stars. The networks are giving people what
they apparently want -
Yes, I agree 100%.
And since this show was not about meteorites, perhaps we can drop the topic,
though it does affect us in many ways. Meteorite and treasure hunting do
overlap. It seems the dumbing down of America is complete. Paris Hilton is
laughing all the way to the bank.
Michael Farmer
The one thing we can agree on is the lack of quality network and cable
television. I concur with ending this topic on that note.

Hi All,
If anyone is interested, for the past 6 months I've been compiling the
closing prices, masses and sellers of eBay Chelyabinsk meteorite sales
in an Excel spreadsheet. The dataset is quite large now (1250 points)
and includes all eBay sales of Chelyabinsk masses greater than or equal
to 3
Hi folks,
I have to agree, the show is terrible. Reality TV is all such a
farce and unfortunately for us the masses(tm) love them because they
keep finding new ways to make more of this garbage. Yes, maybe they are
nice guys. Do these shows even run disclaimers that they're BS?
Like
Hello All,
I feel I must apologize to the meteorite community for ever mentioning the
Diggers detecting show yesterday. Since they were going to be hunting at
Glorieta and mentioned, Finding Civil War relics and 'other' treasures, I
was hoping they would show them finding a meteorite. I have
It is a good thing, nothing wrong with discussions, even heated ones. Since
many of us hunt the Glorieta strewn-field, it is imperative that we know what
is going on up there. Sadly I predict hoards of people with their wal-mart
detectors trashing the place, perhaps a ban on hunters
That is amazing work Robert, I would love to see it.
Millions were spent on Chelyabinsk worldwide, that's for sure.
The mexico event last week could easily have been just as large or larger based
on the videos so far released, but it seems most likely the meteoroid skipped
back out into space!
Hi all,
I just ran across an in-depth interview with H.H. Nininger from 1976. Perhaps
this has been discussed before, but it was new to me, and quite interesting.
The audio quality isn't great, but I've only ever run across one other short
excerpt of a recorded interview with him previously.
Hi, Greg. No apologies necessary, a little friendly discourse on a
tangential topic is always stimulating. Imagine what a boring place
this would be if we all agreed with each other on every subject?
Michael in so. Cal.

Hi Rob,
This is awesome. Some of the numbers are interesting, if not surprising.
Average cost per gram is about typical for OC falls in Russia - a
little less than US/Canada/Europe falls and more than most Saharan
falls.

Some will always pay the most to get the first available specimens of a fall.
Others will wait until the

Hi Richard,
Spot on and right. Same here. Buying directly from the finder cannot
be beat for provenance purposes. It doesn't get better than that.
Buying directly from a finder who publicly documented their entire
trip, every step of the way (including the vodka hangovers!), is
priceless.
WELL SAID MIKEGAND DITTO!
