[meteorite-list] The Ensisheim Show

[Anne Black via Meteorite-list]

Hello everybody,

I know this is only April but June will be here much sooner than you think, and 
with it the Ensisheim Show. So if you are thinking about going, it is time to 
stop thinking and actually plan for it. And since I am now official helping the 
Association des Amis de la Meteorite de Ensisheim, here is the officially flyer 
with all the information available. Enjoy.

 And if you still have some questions, please do contact me directly by email. 
Thank you.

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Very nice. Congrat's Todd!

Coincidentally, I made a cold find on Saturday as well. Mine looks completely 
different though, much older, not as pretty.
Are you going to have it classified?

Sincerely,
Larry

[meteorite-list] Curious Iron Rocks Mystery Solved

[Raremeteorites via Meteorite-list]

Dear List Members,

Team LunarRock solved the mystery of the "Curious Iron Rocks" that miners 
were finding for years in Pershing County, Nevada.


Here is how the mystery began:

We were told by the locals that the best place to eat in Lovelock, Nevada 
was at a Shell gas station, not the C Punch Casino we were staying at while 
we were getting ready to attend a cash-only land auction before starting our 
annual meteorite hunt in June of 2015 . We thought they were joking with us 
so we ignored the recommendation at first.  The pretty country girls at the 
bank, that looked like they were getting ready to enter a beauty contest, 
who provided us with cash for the auction, mentioned the Shell gas station 
again so our curiosity got the best of us.  I could not help but notice the 
girls in this small old western town were all dressed up with their hair 
meticulously done.  My wife noticed this too and asked where she could get 
her hair done for the big auction.  The girls at the bank considered it an 
emergency, made a few cell calls and had my wife's hair done in no time. 
The girls were hoping to meet some rich ranchers or miners at the auction so 
had to look their very best.  Some may ask what this has to do with curious 
iron rocks that were being found.


Let me explain.  We attended the auction which had about 50 bidders with the 
rest of the people being spectators.  I was concerned that there was no 
security and the back door of the community center was left open for fresh 
air.  There was stacks of cash tucked away in briefcases and satchels.   I 
mentioned my concern to the auctioneer and he said that they have the best 
security there is.  He said a would-be perpetrator would have dozens of 
bullets in their head before they even hit the ground if they tried to pull 
some stupid stunt since the attendees are all well-armed.  I looked around 
and observed that some girls had Lady Smith 9mm's tucked in their boots and 
one bidder had a Colt 45 Peacemaker next his stacks of cash in his 
briefcase.  We won some ranches at the auction, paid the county treasurer 
and had the deeds prepared and recorded in record time.  We then went to the 
assessors office and had the girls print the plats for the land we just 
purchased.  We prepared months ahead of time for land we wanted and the Team 
LunarRock hunt afterwards.  One of the parcels we purchased was 
strategically located within a few thousand feet of the famous Poker Brown 
gold mine in Rye Patch and the Majuba mountain range where meteorites have 
been found.  It is this parcel that got the attention of local prospectors 
and opened up a dialog with them since they trust no one.


After taking care of the paperwork, we decided to have lunch at the Shell 
station.  I noticed a police officer filling up a 128 ounce soft drink since 
refills were only 79 cents.  I gave him a hard time about it and he 
reassured me that it would last all day.  The gas station proprietor, a very 
friendly guy of East Indian descent, told the police officer to tell the 
truth that he actually came in twice a day for refills.  We laughed and 
looked at the menu which was surprisingly expansive for a gas station.  I 
ordered a hamburger and my wife ordered shrimp kabobs with rice.


While we were waiting for our lunch to be prepared, we sat down and went 
over some maps.  The police officer asked what we were doing and we 
explained that we were trying to find the best places to prospect for gold 
and meteorites on our newly acquired properties.  He made a phone call and 
the next thing that happened is that a prospector show up.  The prospector, 
who introduced himself simply as "Smokey",  wanted to know why we were 
discussing the Poker Brown mine and Rye Patch.  We showed him some maps and 
his jaw dropped.   He knew the entire territory like the back of his hand. 
We talked about metal detectors and treasure hunting and he become 
comfortable with us after making sure we were not claim-jumpers.  He then 
went to his truck which had a horse trailer attached to it and retrieved a 
tattered leather brief case.


Our lunch was finally served and in between bites, we discussed treasure 
hunting.  Smokey opened the briefcase and started sharing Polaroid pictures 
with us.  It was our turn to have our jaws drop as he showed us picture 
after picture of gigantic gold nuggets he had recovered with his $10,000.00 
Minelab metal detector.  He traveled in the field on horseback with a metal 
detector on one side of his horse and a 30/30 carbine rifle on the other and 
would disappear for months at a time.  We asked about meteorites and he 
stated that he did not know anything about them other than some prospectors 
were finding "Curious Iron Rocks" that might be meteorites.  He told us that 
his nephew found a large piece of quartz with over 50 ounces of gold in it 
on the lot next to one of our properties and was excited to help us search 
our virgin private land.  He also
