What is the relationship of this verses the meteorite being Canadian property? I really hope he is able to get some of it though if it can be found.

The incredible object from space lit up the night sky on Thursday and was the talk of Western Canadians and space enthusiasts around the world. Some experts believe the meteor fell east of Wainwright just across the border with Saskatchewan. Scientists and treasure hunters from across the province, including Calgary, are scouring that area trying to find the debris trail. Robert Haag, who runs a meteorite website in the U-S, says he'll pay 10 thousand dollars to the first person to find a piece. Meteorite hunting can be a lucrative trade. Haag estimates there could be as much as one million dollars worth of meteorites on the ground from this single meteor. A basketball-sized piece could sell for up to 50 thousand dollars. ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
