Hi List:
I saw a big meteorite in ET's room at the Inn Suites with a sign listing it as the Main Mass of the Franconia meteorite. I think it was found on Super Bowl Sunday. The ink on the sign had scarcely dried when I heard that a 7kg piece was found a few days later.
I remember when Gold Basin first came out and the price was well north of $1.50 per gram. Before long, meteorite hunters decended on the Gold Basin strewnfield. Last time I checked on ebay, Gold Basin could be had for a quarter a gram on some auctions. I heard rumors in Tucson of several groups planning on searching for Franconia meteorites after the show was over. Could Franconia be the next Gold Basin? I can almost hear our Italian friend saying "Bah!, the prices are in ruin"
