Congrats Bob and Moni!!! If I could be in Battle Mountain instead of
swamped in my "real" job with the Processing Tomato Advisory Board (done
late October) I'd be one the ground with everyone. Drat that I can't. Soon
to resume painting TSs and hunting with new friends....
Good Fortune to all who are there!!!

Greetings
I am very pleased to announce that Bob and Moni Verish have found the
first meteorite from the Battle Mountain meteorite fall, which occurred
on 22 August 2012! They have located a 19.25g meteorite that appears to
be an H chondrite at first examination. According to the Meteoritical
Society database, this makes Bob and Moni the first to ever recover an
observed fall in the state of Nevada! We offer our hearty
congratulations for this history-making find!
Details of the meteorite fall, to include radar imagery, seismometry
and other data, a calculated strewn field estimate, and other information
can be found on the Galactic Analytics LLC website:

We would like to maintain a table of all the Battle Mountain (BaM)
meteorites, much the same as Petrus Jenniskens did for the Sutter's Mill
fall. This will improve the value of the meteorites to both scientists
and collectors by preserving the individual histories of the meteorites.
We will provide a copy of this list to everyone who locates a meteorite
and adds their meteorite to it, and when the list has matured we will
release it to the public. If you find a meteorite, please let us know
about it! We are not asking for samples of any meteorite, just
information about individual meteorites - the date of find, the mass,
lat/long coordinates, and the name of the finder. Your meteorite(s) will
be issued a unique BaM number, much as the Sutter's Mill meteorites were
given SM numbers.
Congratulations again to Bob and Moni for finding the newest meteorite
on Earth (that we know about, anyways)!
Cheers,
Marc Fries
