Hello All,
I thought I would share this tiny snap shot in time of how and why taking
GPS coordinates are important for hunters and the science of collecting and
studying meteorite finds. Here are images of three different meteorite
individuals found within 100 feet of each other over a 2-day period while
hunting in California years ago. These three 'individual' meteorites (not
fragments) were later analyzed and determined to be paired to each other.
Adam's California cold find:

Steve's find an hour later:

...and my very first meteorite find ever, due to having coordinates of
Adam's cold find the day before. This first find was a whopping 1.3 grams
and means more to me than most of my larger finds later in life!

Just a snapshot in a time frame of responsible meteorite hunting...
Best regards,
