Hi Everyone,
I want to give a big congrat's to Todd. He's one heck of a meteorite
hunter with the true passion that's required to be successful. If it
were not for his awesome find yesterday Sonny and I would've have just
had a lot of exercise, but he made it all worth while with his
accomplishment. In some way it is just as satisfying for me to be there
when a find is made as if I found it myself. This is Todd's 6th cold
find I believe, something very few people in the world will ever
achieve or experience.
Bravo!
I've recently had the pure pleasure of meeting Scott Johnson and his
wife Terri. I held their huge ~7 pound find in my own hands and I feel
privileged to have done so. It's a spectacular specimen that would
enhance any collection in the world, just incredible!
Congratulations to all of you!
Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Subject: [meteorite-list] Congratulations Todd Parker
Hi List,
I would like to congratulate Todd Parker on his new Arizona chondrite
discovery. I had the pleasure of hunting with Todd Parker and Larry
Atkins recently in the Arizona desert. While Larry and I were sitting
on a hill taking a water break with Brix, Larry's phone rang with a
very excited Todd on the other end. We could see him down below us, so
we quickly rushed over to see what he had found. We saw a beautiful
chondrite in situ. Todd was recording his find and preparing to take a
photograph when Brix ran up and gave the meteorite a sniff and a lick.
Todd was the first one to see the meteorite and Brix was the first (and
only) one to lick it! : ) It is a 30-40 gram chondrite with fusion
crust and visible metal flakes on on the broken end. It looks like
Lawrence may have another meteorite to classify from Arizona.
Congratulations Todd!
