Hi Jim and All,
Jim asked if an older meteorite has ever been found while hunting for a new
fall... Yes! Jack Schrader not only discovered the first Whetstone Mountains
meteorite, he also found a completely different meteorite while hunting
there. I forget the name of that one at the moment, too full of popcorn! ;-)
Happy hunting, good luck to everyone out there!!
Best Regards,
Greg

I have not seen any of this material first-hand but I was thinking the same
thing when I saw Bob Verish's images. Perhaps it rained in Northern Nevada
or many times fresh falls take on a brownish hue. If the miner's stone was
found within a few hours of the fall, then I would think the stones have a
natural brownish hue or it could be the white balance is off on the digital
camera.
Happy hunting,
Adam

I had the exact same impression. This one looks like a somewhat weathered
NWA.
Could be the lighting.
But, Adam Hupe reported multiple finds so far so this could be legit.

Hi All,
I have posted a few pictures of the strewnfield and a large chondrite on
my website.A couple of the roads in the area will be posted with No
trespassing signs later this week. The reason is for mine safety
regulations.The project supervisor was very nice and explained the
biggest concern is safety.If anything was to happen on the mining clam,
the site would be shut down.
Thanks,
Sonny
