According Schmitt's article in MAPS, there is an "Museum act" in Denmark, which says, that all Danish meteorites have to be delivered to a museum, and the finder gets only an allowance for the expenses to find and to deliver the specimens, but zero reward. Hence, if that is true at all, it certainly would not be interesting to work on that fall for professional and experienced hunters - so Henning Haack and colleagues would have to try to find it and to increase the tkw by their own. A pity and less promising, as if professionals would attend to - especially if I see, how the tkws of the European falls only of this decade were multiplied or how some of them were recovered at all with their help...but these are the laws. Hope the Danish laws will be revised. or better, I hope next fall will occur in Sweden ;-) Best!

Quoting the article (today) published in the newspaper Politiken, Henning Haack at the the Geolocial Museum in Cpenhagen, urges people to active search for fragments. "Mit store håb er, at folk på Lolland nu går ud og leder efter flere. Vi har et område på omkring 10 gange 20 kilometer nær Maribo, hvor der kunne ligge flere meteoritsten. Så jeg vil opfordre folk til at kigge efter i tagrender og på græsplænerne for at se efter meteoritter og indlevere dem til os«, siger Henning Haack." Translated: My big hope is that people on Lolland now will go searching for more (meteorites). We have an area of about 10 by 20 kilometer, near Maribo, where there probably are more meteorites to be found. So, I urge people to look in their roof draing channels and their lawns for meteorites and come with them to us, says Henning Haak". About Danish rules for collecting and exporting meteorites I think I've read somewhere that the situatuon is similar to Canada. You have to get a permission to be able to legally export a Danish meteorite. Can somebody give more approriate information about this? Good luck!
