Museum???
I thought that the right place for those things was ebay.
Scratch, scratch...

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] meteorite hunting in Western Australia
Thanks for all the tips about Western Australian meteorites and tektites.
I haven't answered most of the mails I got, I'm a bit sporadically
connected to the net while on the road but I read all and appreciate them.
I have taken your advice in consideration.
Advices ranged from "you are not allowed to touch them" to "Strange rocks
are okay to collect"... even from one of the staff of the Perth Museum.
"Put it in your pocket and don't tell anyone" was his reply... and then he
laughed, "I've been in the desert all my life and I've never seen a
meteorite. Good luck!"
I will still go east to see Kalgoorlie and the mining towns in the desert.
I will hunt for some australites and see if I can find any good mineral
collecting places. Dig for some gold and just have a nice time. If I
happens to stumble onto a suspected meteorite then I have to decide if I
just leave it or bring it back to the museum. So far none have been able
to cite the law so all I have is advice... guess it all boils down to
common sense.
I have a GPS, extra batteries, zip lock bags and a pen to mark the bags.
So if I happens to find a meteorite then I can take good care of it and
deliver it to the museum.
