Hi Paul!

I think you got the gold price a bit high... it is $1266 per troy ounce or $39 per gram. Then 50 times their weight in gold is $1970 per gram. I've seen higher prices for meteorites.

Granted, not many meteorites would reach that price.... but a witnessed lunar fall might do it.

Good afternoon Folks,

Imagine that "50 times their weight in gold." That would be what, $50,000 a gram? LOL Nice try...if they can sell it! Best regards, Paul Martyn

Meteorite may have landed in Clare

Wednesday, 15 September 2010  13:51

Scientists believe that a meteorite that landed in Ireland on September 1 may have touched down in north east Clare. According to Ireland’s foremost astronomer, David Moore, the September 1 meteorite is likely to have landed in land along the border between Clare, Galway and Tipperary. Moore, who is also the Chairman of Astronomy Ireland is appealing to people who witnessed the fireball to contact the association. The person who discovers the meteorite is also likely to receive a major cash boost as fragments of meteorites are regularly sold for 50 times their weight in gold.
