Since the compiling is taking longer than expected perhaps my self
imposed Sunday deadline for release of the information was a bit
premature. I will try to release it publicly on Sunday, however it might
not be ready by then, if you would like to see what I have thus far,
please feel free to email me on Sunday and I will email it to you
privately. Once I'm finished compiling all the data, I will release it
on my site.
I want to thank everyone thus far who has shown more than reasonable
cooperation in helping compile the data for the strewnfield, and the
statistical cost data. Again as a recap, the more information available
the more accurately we'll be able to map this strewnfield. I have
compiled coordinates for 20-25 finds so far, many people have been way
more than willing to provide their data and I'm surprised actually at
the level of cooperation. Though I'm disappointed that some people I
thought would participate have not yet provided any information.
Those of you who've not yet contributed, I welcome and encourage your
participation. Those not participating because of prior agreements with
your team members and/or landowners, I respect that and look forward to
seeing you in the field on the next one.
Please send:
Total Days In The Field:
Total Hours Hunted Per Day:
Total Miles Walked Per Day:
Total Costs: (just a total number, it need not be itemized)
Total Number of Meteorites Found:
Total Weight Found:
Coordinates: (if you don't mind releasing them publicly)
Thank you all...
Regards,
Eric

Hi listees and fellow meteorite hunters in the field. I'm back from
the field and I'm compiling (unscientifically) some statistical data
that I've not yet seen anyone attempt to calculate in any way but a
cursory manner thus far. If you've hunted the WI meteorite fall, and
have data you'd like to share, please send me an email with your
hunting information/statistics.
Primarily what I'm looking for is totals, hours hunted, days hunted,
meteorites found, and costs associated with this hunt. I'd like to do
this while WI is fresh in everyone's minds and I think that will
provide the most reliable information, and also give some an idea of
the costs in time and money that go into recovering meteorites from
the field.
Please send in the following format to make it easier to add all
totals. If you can think of any other data that should be included in
this list, please feel free to respond on-list so others can add their
input.
I will be including all my totals as well in this data.
Total Days In The Field:
Total Hours Hunted Per Day:
Total Miles Walked Per Day:
Total Costs: (including airfare, hotel, rental car, food, fuel, cost
of meteorites purchased, miscellaneous expenses; i.e. "pay to hunt"
expenses) This need not be itemized, and can be a total cost for your
hunt...
Total Number of Meteorites Found:
Total Weight Found:
This survey is completely anonymous, and your identity will be kept
confidential, all you need send is totals/numbers.
In addition, those of you who'd like to share coordinates that would
also be appreciated, again, your anonymity will be kept unless you
state specifically that you wouldn't mind releasing your identity
publicly in association with your data.
All this information will be published on my site and on-list to share
with everyone in a completely transparent and "open" manner.
Thank you all in advance for your cooperation.
Regards,
Eric Wichman
