Title: RE: [meteorite-list] living near a strewfield

Quite so.
Most strewn fields aren't discovered until well after their

Hi EMan and list,
So a strewnfield does not exist until proven, regardless of the fact that
little
or no effort has been made in the investigation of a given fall/find? I can see
that. Still, I'd like to believe they're there just as any cold find sets a
hunter in motion.

woodbine

Aloha - When I lived on that other island (Oahu) I was within 2-3km of the Palolo touchdown point, (since I lived in Palolo Valley) and it must have been within 10-15 km of the Honolulu meteorite strewn field.Since I live on the Big Island, no one has found / identified a meteorite here
