Hi Bernd and List
Bernd that invite is still open and if your even thinking about taking me up on it ? You might want to hurry up on the decesion . They are getting pretty hard to find . I can always toss one in front of you . But in a few more years that place will be the suburbs of Las Vegas !! It's kinda hard to concentrate on metal detecting when you in the hustle and bustle of a subdivision !!
Warmest Regards
John Blennert

it was found before ... and the folks on this list ever heard of Gold Basin !!!
Hello John and List,
These words bring back pleasant memories, ... memories from 1999 when I got an email from John after I had posted something about Michael Blood hunting for Gold Basin meteorites. John wrote:
"I would like to extend a personal invitation for you to hunt Gold Basin. I will loan you a goldmaster metal detector and be your personal guide. I will cook (no guarantees) and get you familiar with the detector, heck I'll even give you a drive around and show you all the known field. I guarantee you'll find a few meteorites if I have to throw them at you? He He. That's assuming you don't have a hearing impairment !!! I know you are a long way from Arizona, but if you could find your way to get here I will try and accomodate anyway I can !! It's very hot there now the best times for hunting are October thru April. If this offer is not workable because of work, wife, kids or finances email me your address and I would love to mail you a nice Gold Basin!! I would be honored to send one to the man that helps so many!!"
A few days later there were two beautiful specimens (76 and 86 gr) in my
mailbox and they were welcomed by a small 31.5 gr specimen with an official
field number (UA410) that I had purchased from Allan Lang some time before.
John wrote in his letter that "most of the Gold Basin finds are broken up pretty bad" and that "both of these have a good show of crust."
That was more than true because they even showed clear signs of primary crust,
the 86-gram even signs of a secondary crust; the 76-gram piece has shallow
regmaglypts, is conical and may thus be oriented or at least flight-marked
from its plunge through the Earth's atmosphere.
John, let me once again thank you for these beauties, and, you may be sure that
they will never leave the B. Pauli Meteorite Collection, no matter where the wind
blows from!
Best wishes,
Bernd
