Please folks, isnt the REAL issue here simply the way some deal with
landowners? I really don't blame these landowners at all for feeling slighted.
I mean, we have to be reasonable, cautious, and even conservative, when it
comes to discussing what the landowners will receive if something good is found
on their property. Planting visions of big money certainly is a questionable
tactic, and only paves the way for circumstances such as this to arise. Its a
slippery slope we find ourselves on these days, dealing with landowners, and
we, as meteorite hunters, need to recognize the fact that if not for
cooperating landowners, we would likely be doing something else all together.
The landowner's satisfaction should come first and foremost, after all, they
own the property, and are at a certain risk just allowing us onto their land. A
classic case of a dog biting the hand that feeds him. I do understand the
(unforeseen?) problems that can unfold, such as lack of
a market, and so forth, this, moreover lends to the idea of approaching with
conservative caution, not promises of big money and vacation homes. We also
need to realize that what we do out there in the field, as well as at the
market place, reflects on ALL meteorite hunters, and WE NEED TO ACT
ACCORDINGLY!!!!!!!! This situation needs to be FIXED!!!!!! --Mike A.
