Hello Michael and list,
Actually my latest find is a little bit more special to me because I found
it without Bob Verish being present!!
Yes, he has shown me how to find them and search for them; he is a fine
friend and mentor!
But I am so pleased that when my girlfriend Cuc (who is Asian) ;-) and I
went out on Memorial weekend for a day, I found my meteorite all by myself.
I took an image, etc. and then showed it to her for her to say, I don't
think this is a meteorite.
Well, I knew it was one and I took it home to show a friend of mine who
confirmed it!
This is why my newest find is just a touch more special then the other finds
I made with Bob being present.
Thank you Michael for letting me visit and letting me see your fine
collection!
Its very impressive!
Back to work and Sternengruss, Moni

Greetings all,
I had the pleasure of having one of the
few ladies on the list contact me and visit while in
San Diego.... Moni.
For some reason, I had thought she was Asian,
though, from her name, I should have expected her
to be French. Turns out she is German!
Anyway, we had a very pleasant, though short
visit due to my wife having to go to an emergency
session with a Chiropractor. Turns out Moni is quite
the meteorite hunter and she showed me one of her
recent finds. Very impressive. She has been on multiple
searches with Bob Varish - great company. She tried to
blame her success on the company she keeps on searches,
but I have been in the field with some of the very best
in the world, including Steve Schoner in Holbrook & John
Blennert in Gold Basin & I never found a single specimen when
hunting with them (Of course, they found multiple specimens
when they were with me, but somehow I don't think there is
a causative correlation there). In fact, in 8 different strewn
fields and over dozens of days I have found only one single
(11g) specimen. So, I know better than to listen to her modest
commentary about it all being due to the company she keeps.
An eagle's eye she has.
It is always great to meet someone on the list in person.
Best wishes, Michael
