Hello Paolo and the List,
I am a meteorite collector and amateur meteorite
researcher. Professionally, I am a research and
development engineer specializing in hardware quality
and reliability for the largest electronic test
equipment company in the world. I have technical
oversight of our local
d to be at Tucson. Does this ring a bell?
That's probably enough questions for now. I hope the
answers to these questions will be of general interest
to other list readers as well.
Best Regards,
Pat Brown

Hi All,
I just finished _Meteorite Hunter_ by Roy Gallant
(ISBN 978-0071372244).
This book is not terribly technical, but is a great
read none the less. The book consists mostly of a sort
of travel log of Mr. Gallant's wonderful expeditions
to several remote impact sites in the former USSR

Very Nice! Mr. Phillips has mastered his art. Thank

Hi All,
This is an interesting thread.
In addition to meteorites, I collect books on
meteorites, tektites, the manned space program,
catholic prayer books, local history, and the
sciences.
I collect family history (genealogy), woodworking
tools, guns, catholic rosaries and medals.

Hi All,
There is some real metallic Willamette floating around
in the market. I once owned a 60gram fragment. Traded
it to ET years ago for a nice 1/4 pound Allende with a

Hi All,
I am investigating the purchase of a saw for cutting
meteorites. I have done some web searching, but the
prices are much higher than I expected.
This saw should have a 2" max depth of cut, should
give good enough surface finish to avoid the need for
a large amount of lapping to remove t

Hi Kevin and Robert,
Another excellent way to demonstrate this same effect
is to remove the magnets from a hard disc drive,
remount the magnets so that they are in the same

Welcome to the list! You will find some great folks
and some great information here.
There are a couple of great books that I can highly
recommend:
The modern classic is _Rocks From Space_ 2nd edition

purchased from amazon.com

3) Any other tips for a successful hunt?
The intent is not to get rich or change career. One of
the things on my list of things to do in my life is to
find a meteorite in the field.

Unfortunately, I do not have a sample, but on a visit

Hi Sonny,
One technique to make it easier to determine magnetic
attraction is to tie a string (about 2-3 feet long)to
a strong magnet (like a neodynium magnet) , hang onto
the string, target on the ground, look down the string
while drawing the magnet close to the target. You will
be able to see v

Hi Kevin,
I believe, from looking at your photos that you have

result of an aluminum beer or soda can being thrown

Hi Kevin,
Nope, I don't think there are metal tektites.
The tektite origin theory that is most widely accepted
is that Tektites are terrestrial material melted into
a glass by the heat of a large meteorite impact. Since
the material on the surface of earth is mostly
silicate, tektites are essent

Hi Listees..
I consider an individual to be the meteoroid body that
traversed the atmosphere for long enough to create
crust and sculpt the surface with flight markings,
flow lines, rounded edges etc.
A fragment is a broken part of an individual. The

Hi All,
Came across reports about the Frass Rock or Frass
Meteorite and a report from Dr. Treiman of the Lunar
Planetary Institute stating that it is earthly basalt.
Is there any real science that shows that the Frass
Rock really is a Martian Meteorite as the owner
claims??
