Is it obvious to you Bill?
I would hazard a guess that Oman meteorites are the second most plentiful on the market, available from my site and many others yet with many folks I have spoken to about going, legality issues come up. As I see it this is either sour grapes (as those who have warned me have never gone into Oman) or a legitimate concern.
I am sifting out the details myself, starting with this list, my fellow collectors and colleagues, teams from around the world who have been hunting the deserts for decades and are familiar with the exportation process. I thank you for considering me well known in the community but I admit I have never been on a hunt but for Park Forest where I did not personally find a single piece.
I could write to the Sultan but this seems a logical forum to seek advice.

Excuse me Rob,
You are a well known meteorite dealer or so I thought. Why ask the obvious? What the heck is stopping you from sifting out the details yourself?

-------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Rob Wesel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>A well know dealer recently said, in respect to Oman:
"I mean really, I am in Oman hunting meteorites, so I would go talk to the
police and get someone in trouble for hunting meteorites?"
So what's the deal? As someone who has pondered such a trip myself, is it illegal to hunt there?
I have heard different stories from everyone I talk to, anyone know the facts on hunting in Oman?
Not interested in grays, is it legal or not?
Just don't want to be the first to end up in a Middle Eastern prison.
