Hi all, 1. I used an older camera which I'm 99 % sure has no GPS capabilities. However, Rob, Sterling and Jim are smart and could probably find the area if I had posted hand drawn pictures with stick figures.
2. I was never told to keep the area a secret but did not pinpoint it out of respect to the finder. 3. I feel like there are so few meteorite hunters that care anymore that it wouldn't make any difference. Example: 5 or so years ago probably 5-10 well known hunters drove to Texas to hunt an area where a small iron meteorite called Llano River was found - no more was ever found. However, only a few weeks ago I called nearly a dozen people to join me in Texas to Hunt the Clarendon area where I told them I found hundreds of Clarendon (c) fragments. No one wanted to go. Not until Geoff finally joined me - after I had made several trips - and we found so many fragments it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Now a few later mentioned that they wished they had gone but they still haven't. My feeling is most meteorite hunters don't care enough to go, let alone do a little detective work. But if they do find it good. Go find more! Enough said? 4. I am 100% sure the meteorites I saw are at least an (L) but wouldn't shock me at all if they were (LL). But the largest one - even though looked like an L - did not have the same "look" as the others. The smaller ones remind me of a slightly more weathered Holbrook. Marc Fries mentioned that the low weathering look is highly reminiscent of an LL which I agree.
