[meteorite-list] Dentists and a Yaqui/Mayan meteorite mystery (was ...Tucson)
Hi Ed, On dentistes, Yaqui and a meteorite Dentists in Nogales: The dentists I mentioned all speak English and some even have US diplomas on the walls, although in the Mexican schools they probably get just as much if not more hands-on practice. So don't be shy, though I thank you so kindly for the vote of confidence. My Mother needed a root canal job about 5 years ago and even though we could have gotten it done anywhere in the world, I chose to get it done in Mexico and the proof is in the absolutely perfect job this incredible dentist did and with a service that I have never seen elsewhere and her hands were as gentle as they come.. Back to the Yaqui and meteorites: An unsolved Sonoran Yaqui Valley Mystery Here's a lead that would be a blast to read; from the book: The Book of the Damned by Charles Fort In the Scientific American, Sept. 10, 1910, Charles F. Holder writes: Many years ago, a strange stone resembling a meteorite, fell into the Valley of the Yaqui, Mexico, and the sensational story went from one end to the other of the country that a stone bearing human inscriptions had descended to the earth. The bewildering observation here is Mr. Holder's assertion that this stone did fall. It seems to me that he must mean that it fell by dislodgment from a mountainside into a valley — but we shall see that it was such a marked stone that very unlikely would it have been unknown to dwellers in a valley, if it had been reposing upon a mountain side above them. It may have been carelessness: intent may have been to say that a sensational storyof a strange stone said to have fallen, etc. This stone was reported by Major Frederick Burnham, of the British Army. Later Major Burnham re-visited it, and Mr. Holder accompanied him, their purpos to decipher the inscriptions on it, if possible. This stone was a brown, igneous rock, its longest axis about eight feet, and on the eastern face, which had an angle of about forty-five degrees, was the deep-cut inscription. Mr. Holder says that he recognized familiar Mayan symbols in the inscription. His method was the usual method by which anything can be identified as anything else: that is to pick out whatever is agreeable and disregard the rest. He says that he has demonstrated that most of the symbols are Mayan. One of our interme- diatist pseudo-principles is that any way of demonstrating anything is just as good a way of demonstrating anything else. By Mr. Holder's method we could demonstrate that we're Mayan — if that should be a source of pride to us. One of the characters upon this stone is a circle within a circle — similar character found by Mr. Holder in a Mayan manuscript. There are two 6's. 6's can be found in Mayan manuscripts. A double scroll. There are dots and there are dashes. Well, then, we, in turn, disregard the circle within a circle and the double scroll and emphasize that 6's occur in this book, and that dots are plentiful, and would be more if it were customary to use the small i for the first personal pronoun — that when it comes to dashes — that's demonstrated: we're Mayan. I suppose the tendency is to damned feel that we're sneering at some valuable archaologic work, and that Mr. Holder did make a veritable identification. He writes: I submitted the photographs to the Field Museum and the Smithsonian and one or two others, and, to my surprise, the reply was that they could make nothing out of it. Our indefinite acceptance, by preponderance of three or four groups of museum-experts against one person is that a stone bearing inscriptions unassimilable with any known language upon this earth, is said to have fallen from the sky.

I don't know how to say more lidocaine in Spanish. My guess as to where the Yaqui meteorites are is in their pockets or in their houses. You could just ask them, and unless you're too greedy or obsessed, they'd likely tell you. The key is respect, and remembering that they have their own way of looking at things, and valuing them.

Plus you might find some interesting stuff in Yaqui culture if you look hard enough in that territory. Really from a meteorite hunting perspective

Re: [meteorite-list] Promising sites around Sedona Arizona?
After a couple of weeks on vacation in beautiful Sedona Arizona I had the opportunity to spend some time meteorite hunting. I have a total of about 20 hours in hunting here. After nearly accepting defeat on my last day here, and after finding lots of bullets, shell casings and other garbage, I hope it's the real thing. Below are a few snapshots. I found it in a pasture a couple of miles south of the Village of Oak Creek. My metal detector screeched for it and its extremely attracted to my magnet. Any comments are welcome. If it's the real thing, this will be my second find. The first one was just over a year ago in northern Nevada. If all goes as planned, I plan to be at the Tucson show so I'll bring it with me to hopefully get some personal comments. http://aguenthe.mnsi.net/Sedona1.JPG http://aguenthe.mnsi.net/Sedona2.JPG http://aguenthe.mnsi.net/Sedona3.JPG http://aguenthe.mnsi.net/Sedona4.JPG http://aguenthe.mnsi.net/Sedona5.JPG Thanks in advance for your comments.
