R.I.P. to John Blennert -- I met him once or possibly twice over the last quarter century, so knew of his considerable prowess hunting gold (via metal detecting) as well as meteorites, on this continent and others. I was not aware (though not surprised) to learn that his expertise also extended to archaeology. Thank you, Bernd, for passing on the sad news of John's passing, and to Bob Verish for sharing links to others' remembrances of him. --Rob
