Dear list and collectors; My first piece of meteorite was a 135 gram specimen of canyon diablo that I purchased ($135) from my newly aquainted White's metal detector dealer...who is now my best buddy in petrified wood and gold nuggets as well. Oh, the detector isn't too bad either. He lives three blocks away, and I had not met him in the six years that I I had lived here prior to that. I had read a rock and gem magazine article on using a detector to hunt meteorites...and poof (!), this guy has a small collection, WOW! I was hooked from then on. One could actually hold and own their own meteorites? And....worse yet, they are very valuable, and can be found if one works hard enough, holy moly. So I have worked hard, have a nice amature collection, have invested wisely, and haven't found any myself. I just need to go through my rock pile in my back yard one more time (just kidding, I'm not that lucky). The last meteorite authenticated from Wyoming was in 1947, the Waltman, and I have a small piece. Best thread, Dave Freeman
