So are we saying that all the land owners have gotten together along with
county, state and federal authorities to form posse's? None of that land
has ever been public. All of it is either private, or otherwise owned in
part as BLM or other local, state or federal lands. As to hunting on
private land, meteorite hunters have always been well known to the locals,
if not by name, by activity, and have always been seen as trespassers. So
what has changed? I'm sure that most of the well known hunters on the list
are responsible people; Everyone I've ever delt with (as well as myself) in
respect to the Glorieta field, has always obtained hunting permission from
the land-owner. However, there are a lot of individuals who are not
necessarily known to the list or the IMCA, or who are just loners who sneak
around on their own and hunt quietly on their own. I suspect that those are
the ones who who tend to be the irresponsible parties. Maybe it's not such
a good idea to advertise ones' activities to the world on Utube; it
attracts flies!

Miller @ http://www.meteoritefinder.com/glorieta.htm
However, there will be no more individuals coming out of the strewnfield,
any hunters that try will be arrested."
Gee I wonder why?
"Taking the Hill" "Glorieta hunts" and all the publicity on the
"Treasure" out there on lands that are not only private but also historic
battlefields from two wars, the Mexican and the Civil War.
Holes left uncovered, trash and bottles scattered on once pristine land.
Off road tracks criss crossing every hill and cranny... and more
importantly historic relics thought to be old trash were removed from
where they were found and piled elsewhere or trashed. And what some
thought to be trash was in fact an archeologist's treasure. Whenever I
encountered an artifact, I put it right back into the hole, covering as it
was. Every hole I ever dug and covered cannot be found today.
No wonder that meteorite hunters will be arrested and might I add
prosecuted.
In the many years that I searched, I always got permission from land
owners if I went onto private lands. Now most of those landowners are
gone, having sold their lands to others. But for the most part my
searches were pretty much restricted to public lands, and well off of the
battlefield areas,
Blab, blab, blab...
Make as much publicity and stink as one can, trash the land... And the
result is that that area and any other future meteorite fields that we
might find gets shut down.
No respect for the rights of property owners; leaving the land cratered
like the moon, plastic bottles that will take centuries to break down
scattered everywhere...
What does Ruben and everyone expect from landowners with their high
publicity meteorite hunts?
A public, and Government welcoming committee?
