Greg, sometimes it's hard to understand, why you're collecting meteorites at all?
Arizona is THE meteorite state, ASU, Flagstaff, Nininger, Barringer Crater, Holbrook, Tucson Show, and so many meteorite people living there. So it was highest time, that there after almost 100 years a new observed fall was recovered. It is a happy event! And really all on the list are happy that such a decent man like Jack Schrader had recovered the fall. Now we hear that experienced hunter are at work and they won't stay alone, cause the meteorite felt in the backyard of quite a bunch of prominent meteorite people, therefore we can all be calm, that the maximum of that fall will be recovered. So where is your problem? You want to hunt? Jump in the car and try your luck! Best!

In a week or so, we will see another ordinary chondrite at $100 per gram (or more since this is a secret fall) I dont want to hear about leg work and labor when they turn down help from people who would like to take part in it and learn from them in the field. This would have been my first hunt, and I guess I am just discovering reality when it comes to meteorites. If your not a "big dealer" you get left out.
