Hi Randy!
There were a few PhD's and geologists running around there while I was
there. They were hunting just like everyone else.
Your email was like that of people walking up to us asking. Most of them
were meteor-wrongs or leaverites but on a few occasions, the real thing.
The video I posted earlier was a perfect example of this.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Sutters Mill - mass and stone count
For those keeping count...
I was contacted yesterday by a woman who told this story.
====================================
Good morning, Randy. I live in Lotus, CA and have attached a picture of a
meteorite I found on my driveway on 4/29/12. It has been confirmed by a
geologist from UNLV, and weighed, per attached photo.
I'm not sure what to do with this. The geologist offered me $2,000 cash on
the spot.
====================================
Here's the photo:

4.26 g
=====================================
I told her that $2000 for a 4-g stone was a good price.
I think that she must have talked to a fake geologist because I don't know
any real geologists who carry $2000 in their pocket. She hasn't been back
in touch with me so I don't know what she's done with the stone.
