Hi All,
I know some people who totally agree with the statement, "There are folks
out there who consider the location of their finds their personal strewn
fields and intentionally desseminate inaccurate coordinates to throw off
competitors and collectors. I suppose they can make a good argument for
doing it."
So I guess the locations should be suspect.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Was: GoogleEarth & GPS in Meteorite Hunting
Now:Ethics and Meteorite Find Locations
Count and List,
This would involve ethics or the lack of them on the part of the finder
IF true? Would a person or persons willing to lie on a find location lie
about other things? Good work Count! Others?

David said, "Any coordinates in the MetBul prior to the advent of the GPS
system must be considered suspect."
I'm afraid that the accuracy of locations since the introduction of the
GPS system are still suspect. In just a few months of field research on
recent finds in the Western USA, I came across GPS coordinates that were
obviously off by miles. For instance, there's a rare CM1 find whose
Googled MetBul location puts it a vacant lot in a residential
sub-division.
There are folks out there who consider the location of their finds their
personal strewn fields and intentionally desseminate inaccurate
coordinates to throw off competitors and collectors. I suppose they can
make a good argument for doing it.

On a conceptual this sounds great. One flaw in deployment is the accuracy
of
the gps coordinates that you may have for any given find. There are
coordinates in MetBul that are accurate within 20 miles or so....thats' a
lot of dirt. Any coordinates in MetBul prior to the advent of the GPS
system
must be considered suspect.

Hi all,
I have come to realize there is a crucial tool for meteorite
Hunting that I have yet to hear of anyone using: iPad using
"Google Earth" with the GPS coordinates.
To use this tool in the field, you must have one of the
Models with G3 capability. That said, you can not only locate
Coordinates easily, you can SEE the area you are searching
With great clarity - and also check any "Utube" videos of other
Hunts in the given area, and any other information you may
Want from the internet WHILE you are in the field, the price
Sounds compelling, since I hear the better GPS units start at
about $200 and the cheaper ones are at least $100.
I have located the cheapest method of purchasing a unit. It goes
from $629- with FREE shipping to $829 depending on Gigabytes you
Desire, so and have decided to provide a link from my site.
However, the best anyone can explain me is the more gigabytes
you have the more movies and videos you can STORE on the device,
so, personally, I see little to be gained by spending the additional $
for more gigs unless you, personally make a LOT of videos and want
all of them on your iPad. Otherwise, any other source can be accessed
by the device, so, why store it IN the device? Perhaps I am wrong
here, if so, would someone on the list please clarify additional
advantages
To purchasing massive Gigs on this unit.
Regardless,
1) Go to:
http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/
2) Click on the RED banner ad: "Sales and Freebies" left of
The Banner Ad for IMPACTICA.
3) On the new page, near the top, click on "iPad"
4) On the newer page, again click on "iPad"
5) On this page, scroll down to "iPad Starting at $499" go to
The right of it and UNDER "On Line Store" click on "Buy Now"
(this will NOT be committing you to any purchase)
6) you will now be on a page offering the lowest prices for
