Moni and list,
The strewn field down at Franconia is bi-sected by Interstate-40 with the
sides respectively, North and South. On Nov. 16, 2007, I decided to hunt
an area that was new to me on the Northside (I have been down to Franconia
many times, the past two years). I was using a metal detector as most do;
1.) because the area has been worked over hard the past several years and
2.) many of the bigger chondrites pieces are buried. The really big, big
pieces were picked up during the discovery of the field in 2002. But for
this piece, it was on top with half of it buried in the ground. The
chances are still very good of finding meteorites down there and with just
a meteorite cane, but require a lot of walking into areas most don't
visit. A good indicator is the lack of the so-called, "Scratch holes" and
diggings around that particular area. Happy Hunting and Thanksgiving!!!!

Good morning All and Jason,

Is it a 'Franconia meteorite' though? ;-)
Jason, did you see it on the ground first or did you have to have a metal
detector to find it?
On the video it looks like many rocks seems to have similar colors as the
meteorites so I am wondering about this.
My friend Greg Stanley, also on this list, went out to Franconia a few
weeks ago
and got skunked, as he calls it.
But also he didn't have a metal detector.
Neither do I and that is a reason I never went there to search.
With best regards,
Moni
