Mike and list
So it about 10 to 20 tons, more than 15 feet below the surface and 12 feet
below the water table, I don't thing you can dig that out by hand.
15 feet below the surface is deep, no matter where in the world you are,
without shoring up the walls, the hole will close up from the weight of the
wet ground above.
Wells need to drilled and pump out, then this meteorite can be recovered
safely and it must be recovered.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Calculations on Carancas impact on
meteorite-times.

Did everyone see this? Some interesting calculation
regarding the dynamics of the Peru meteorite.
I have been saying since the moment I set foot in the
crater, that this meteorite weighed many tons, and I
think there are many tons in the crater, likely in the
form of worthless gunk now after three weeks under
water, but there nonetheless.
If Peru has it's way, that is all that will remain.
Now I know why they are so steamed at my getting 300
grams. They have no plans to recover the meteorite, so
they needed those specks.
