 Hi gang,
 Getting hammered in Poughkeepsie,N.Y. So far over 4 inches of  
rain with hours more to go. We haven't lost power yet.

I'm about a mile and a half east of the Hudson. Stay safe!

[meteorite-list] List

2011-08-19 Thread Tom Randall (KB2SMS)


 I tried Facebook last year. Cancelled the account after 3 months,  
it bored the hell out of me. Plus I think it's sad that friends and  
family talk over the net instead of a phone call or visit. It's just  
far too impersonal for me.

Man if someone payed $300 for that they got royally screwed. Someone  
asked him a question about it and his answer is mind blowing.  It  
has been confirmed to carry lunar, and other planetary pieces


Wow, just wow. BUYER BEWARE. Seriously.

Re: [meteorite-list] Where is everyone? Facebook?

2011-05-08 Thread Tom Randall (KB2SMS)


Hi Ruben and list,
I tried Facebook last year for 3 months and it bored me to  
tears. Big waste of time. So I ditched it.  It's so sad to me that  
friends and family want to use internet social media to keep in  
touch instead of calling on the phone or visiting.


That being said, there is a new social media outlet called Diaspora,  
FAR more secure than the insecure Facebook but it's basically in  
experimental phases right now. Not sure when it will go full blown to  
the public but it can't be far off.

Hi folks and Happy Holidays,
  I would suggest not sending any items until payment is received. I  
occasionally buy from some of you folks on ebay, don't let some  
scumbag ruin it for you or the legitimate collectors. Report these  
fraud buyers and block them and spread the word about them.


No money, not item. If they don't like it tell them to go elsewhere.

as it hit and was red hot and smoking. I tried to explain to him it  
wasn't possible but he wouldn't hear of it. I suggested that maybe  
someone was playing a joke on him but no way was his answer. I let

Re: [meteorite-list] I love NY

Hi Mike!
   VERY nice pictures and hope you enjoyed NYC!  It's an awesome  
place! I go down from time to time myself (I'm 65 miles north of  
there) and LOVE going down. I was just down to Citifield in Queens to  
a Mets game (I know they suck this year but the new park is  
AWESOME!), the people are great and there's no place like it.


Happy birthday to the misses!

Tom

Hello list,

occasionally. I've bought from many people on this list. I am a small  
time collector. Anyone remember Steve saying he's leaving? He's like  
Herpies, he keeps coming back. Time and time again. Selling his  
stuff. Disregarding the list RULES. Here is an email he sent me after  
my original response to his post:

I mention nothing about hate in my post. Here is my original post:


Wait, didn't you leave this list for good not long ago?

ANYTHING from you Steve. EVER.

2007-02-05 Thread Tom Randall (KB2SMS)

Hi Rob!
   Well I'm a ham radio operator and one night a few years ago I had  
a conversation with a guy on a UFO net who swears HE had a  
meteorite and actually seen it come down. I asked him to tell his  
story. He said he saw it come down ON FIRE, it threw sparks all the  
way down to the ground next to him and it was red hot and smoking!  
WOW He had a photo of it on a web site and it was obviously NOT a  
meteorite of coarse.  I just checked and the photo is gone now. I  
tried to explain to him there was no way it was on fire and sparking  
but he got fairly upset with me for not believing him. Either he was  
full of it or someone was playing with him!

Just one or two!
Here's my all time favourite meteowrong email..


On Mar 5 1989 at 705 pm, I was tooling north on HWY 71 in Loisiana  
when i felt and heard a sharp snap that sounded like a bullet  
hitting.  I got out of the car and looked for bullet holes but  
didn't see any. I continued, on the return i noticed one of my  
headlights was out.  (It turned dark)  In the am i began replacing  
the headlight when i found the hole i had missed the last night but  
the angle didn't look right. i stuck a 1/2  dowel in the hole and  
figured it had entered at about 5 degrees east and 10 degrees  
north.  I removed the headlight and found this little critter  
inside.  The object had pierced the headlight, bounced off the  
frame of the car and ended up inside the headlight. I immediately  
suspected islamic terrorists, of course.  (i was way ahead of the  
curve on this, i spent time in the middle east)  being forced to  
abandon this theory (it required a muslem shooting a rock gun from  
a heilocopter)  i concluded that it was a meteorite.  had i been in  
a little more of a hurry it would have entered at my clavicle and  
exited at my ...well never mind.  the picture is poor, it feels  
like it's made of metal and has little pits in it. it's about 5/8.


i was hoping someone could tell me what it is. i keep it to remind  
me of the fickle finger of fate.  i found (on the web) some nickle  
iron ones that look like it, course i found some nickle iron ones  
that didn't.


Can anyone beat that??

Hi Darryl,
   Oh I agree. I'm curious about how the real analysis will turn  
out. I used the term fusion crust before when I said I saw none on  
the suspected object, maybe that was the wrong term. I saw no dark  
material on it indicating a space origin. Looked to clean to me.


By the way, my posts seem to take a day or 2 to get to the list, not  
sure why. I'm mostly a lurker to reduce spam coming in to me but  
now and then I like to join in.

Thanks for posting this article.which exasperates.



SCIENTIFIC METHOD AT RUTGERS?

There is very little about the New Jersey object that resembles a  
freshly fallen meteorite.  It's shape is so ambiguous---at best--- 
that the only possible way to determine whether it was a freshly  
fallen meteorite is for a a little destructive analysis.  The  
parameters used for the identification: density, magnetic  
properties, markings and coloration are wholly insufficient in the  
determination of the origin of such an object.


While it may ultimately be among the most unusual freshly fallen  
meteorites known to exist, such an assessment cannot and should not  
ever have been made by simply passing it around for a casual  
analysis and singing kumbaya.

Hello list, I do not post very often. I would guess that 90% of the

time to collect meteorites? Do you collect each new fall and or find 
that you sell? Is it more fun to sell a new meteorite or to add it to 
your collection?
 I am fairly new at collecting and selling meteorites. Each time I see 
or find something that is new or different I tend to collect it. I 
just added a Canyon Diablo to my collection that has a hole through 
it. It would be very easy to sell it and make a few bucks, but I would 
rather keep it in my collection. I found a Gold Basin that shows flow 
lines and has a rollover lip, I could sell it for a dollar a gram, but 
I would rather collect it.
 I guess I am wondering if anyone is collecting meteorites or just 
selling them. I would like to hear about the really cool one you put 
in your personal collection, maybe even see a picture. I had a friend 
give me a 2 kilo Gibeon (the best I have ever seen) as a gift. I would 
not sell the piece for $100.00 per gram. I also had a friend give me a 
14.5 gram iron from AZ, I would not sell it for $100.00 per gram 
either. Am I the only collector out there?

Hi Mike,
  I rarely post myself. I'm a collector only, I have only 45 in my 
collection currently, the lastest being a CV3 from Eric Olson. I've 
bought from quite a few from here on the list, not everyone yet but 
eventually!  Everyone has been great. Mine are all small specimens, 
ranging from a 9mg DAG 400 to a 416 gram Canyon Diablo. A few photos of 
mine are on my web site as well as my meteorite collection list:
