I do not consider moroccan meteorites huntin or finds unless you think
piles of meteorites on a house floor is hunting.
I have more than 800 middle eastern meteorites that found in the
desert myself perhaps 500 kilos all in crates untouched.
Moroccan stud is bought and not found and should be taken out of the
hunting equasion.

Steve,
Thanks for setting the record straight. I guess I was thinking more
along the lines of: who is the most famous or most popular of the
current crop of meteorite hunters? 2 names immediately pop into my
mind: Arnold & Farmer. I guess it's because of your Brenham
publicity and The Meteorite Men that I thought you were a top
contender. I haven't done my homework on who has found what and
compiled it into a statistical analysis and ranking like various
people did for the West fall. Has anyone thought about doing this? I
sure don't have the time, with 2 jobs and 2 children under the age
of 5. I don't think it could be done, except for number of
meteorites officially classified. How many hunters are sitting on
how many unclassified finds? And how do you define "find"? Does it
count if you find meteorites at yard sales or Moroccan markets? I
think a list of lifetime classifications would be a good starting
point in determining the current Champion of the World.
