[meteorite-list] Novato update

2013-04-30 Thread Brien Cook
First off, I'd like to say how pleased I am to see Matija Bericic, the original 
purchaser, put the meteorite back on the market. He had been in touch with me 
within days and actively pursued getting a piece for research purposes. At the 
time no one had any idea how many, or little, would be recovered so it was a 
bit of a gamble.

As far donating a piece for classification, Peter called me within an hour of 
posting pictures of my slice. He was clearly concerned he may have discarded 
the Webber meteorite prematurely. During our conversation we talked about 
classification and he told me he would retrieve the Webber meteorite be taking 
care of that. And that's where we left it. I never followed up with him or Alan 
regarding this, I just assume it got done.

On a related note, there may have been another find a couple days ago. I'm not 
at liberty to disclose more details but I suspect the finder will step forth 
after it is verified.

[meteorite-list] Mill Valley field report

2012-10-20 Thread Brien Cook

For what it's worth I thought I'd share my experience up at Mill Valley today. 
My son and I did 11-miles just East of Bon Tempe Lake, which is the northern 
most point a radar signal was picked up. We saw no other meteorite hunters the 
entire day. The area is a large recreational area with tons of mountain bikers, 
hikers and fishermen. There are countless trails and fire roads intersecting 
the radar signature. But because it is so popular the trails are heavily 
traversed, which I think will make finding anything on or near a trail 
unlikely. Aside from the trails there are some hills with tall yellow grass 
that is mostly lying down. This makes looking in those areas so much easier 
then Sutter's Mill where the grass was upright. The rest of the area is heavily 
wooded, which is going to make finding anything in there near impossible. I use 
the app EveryTrail on my iPhone and uploaded the areas we covered to my FB page 
for those of you who are friends. If not and you want it drop 
 me a line and I'll send it to you. It would at least save you some time 
covering the same ground.

Needless to say we didn't find anything. But it was a beautiful hike and the 
weather was perfect! I'd like to focus more north-east in the future.

I added a picture of the area where the crust is missing. Its very hard to 
photograph the actual details.
Also sorry if I have not replied to all the questions but I just cant keep up

I am placing this auction on hold until I meet with experts this weekend. So 
all bids after 10;54 pm friday night 5/4/2012 will be cancelled until further 
notice.

On May-05-12 at 13:34:19 PDT, seller added the following information:
After Peter Jenniskens had a chance to look at the item it has been determined 
that it is NOT a Coloma meteorite.
I will talk with ebay about removing the item.

Re: [meteorite-list] Using an airship to spot good search areas

The problem with Google is the maps are not current. What looks barren on 
Google is waist high grass now. I think getting areal photography of the 
strewn-field with the current vegetation would be helpful. I doubt however they 
will find a large mass and/or crater. My feeling is it disintegrated into 
thousands of small fragments that will be hard to find in the rugged terrain.

As many of you know I found a 5 gram meteorite ( http://briencook.com/lotus/ )

Personally, I think it's too soon to be giving it a name. So far only fragments 
have been found in Lotus and Coloma. I'd like to see where larger pieces are 
located and a more accurate strewn field before we start naming it.

[meteorite-list] Do we have an accurate number of finds from Lotus / Coloma?

2012-04-26 Thread Brien Cook
So far I've only heard of Robert Ward, Peter Jenniskens and myself finding one. 
Have any other hunters found anything yet? I've also seen reports of locals 
selling finds to collectors in the area but nothing has been substantiated.

[meteorite-list] I too found a meteorite in Lotus, CA from the 4/22 sighting

2012-04-25 Thread Brien Cook
For some reason my email from yesterday didn't post. So here it is again...

Although I can't claim the first find, I did find mine at 12:40 pm today 4/24. 
Being a local from Sacramento I arrived on scene at 9:00 am and started hunting 
along the South Fork American River to the Marshall Gold Discovery State Park. 
After a brief lunch I drove to a nearby area which I calculated to be the 
center of the radar signal. Within 20 minutes I found it sitting on top of a 
gravel road. Even though it has a fusion crust it doesn't weight as much as 
similar meteorites in my collection. I estimate the weight to be in the 5-7 
grams range. I'd like to compare notes with the other one that was found.

Overall, a great day and a wonderful place to go hunting. The weather was great 
and it's just beautiful. If you're planning on hunting yourself you'll need a 
metal detector. There are a lot of public lands nearby but also a lot of 
private land. I'm going to try and get back out there soon.

[meteorite-list] Looking for help in locating the 4/22 sighting near Turlock, CA

2012-04-23 Thread Brien Cook
I'm in Sacramento and have been following this sighting since yesterday 
morning. I've pulled some data and maps and I'm narrowing in on the location. 
Is anyone else working this one as well? If so, I'd like to join forces with 
anyone who's in the area and interested. I could go down there in the next day 
or two.

[meteorite-list] Clarifying Inaccuracies ... was Wisconsin find vs fall

2010-04-17 Thread Brien Cook
No, I just didn't care to respond to your moronic rhetoric. But since you feel 
so compelled to find an audience, no matter how inappropriate, I'll respond. 

You tried to take what I said as slang and make some sort of correction, like 
you're the all mighty gate keeper of terminology. Dude, get over yourself! If 
you don't like or agree with what I said, IGNORE IT! If others think I sound 
ill-informed or ignorant, so be it. But the last thing I want to hear is some 
A-Hole trying to educate me. I could careless of your opinion.

Hopefully you'll finally stop spamming me now!

Re: [meteorite-list] Fireball News Cast video causes fires in the woods

I think they're too far north (Avoca, WI) from where it actually landed. I'm 
predicting closer to Livingston, WI.

[meteorite-list] RE: Two Unexplored Craters

2010-03-30 Thread Brien Cook

People have been familiar with this site for years. I guarantee you if 
meteorites were to be found their we'd know about it by now. Although the 
prospect of collecting Olivine would be cool.
