Hi  I am PJ-I was just reading about all the time it takes for you to
find
   whatever you are looking for. It seems like a lot of work. I may, or may
not be
  able to speed that up considerably. If you have time--give me a call so I
can
  discuss it with one or several of you. Looking forward to talking to you.
  Thank you--P J.

Re: [meteorite-list] Osceola searches

[Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list]

Rob,
A quick tally suggests I spent approximately 190 hours in the field for my 2 
stones.  My friend Darryl and my Uncle Brent spent about 80 hours each, without 
a find. Laura probably hunted about 125 hours or so for her one stone. My 2 
brothers were there for a few days, no finds. Mike made his 2 finds rather 
quickly, this was his fall ; ) Josh and Brendon I can't recall how many hours 
for their 1 stone but I'd say they hunted at least 7-10 days.

It was a tough hunt, just like most of them!

Hi Rob and List,

I can attest to the difficult terrain. I certainly picked a doozie for
my first meteorite hunt. Even though I have hiked much of Florida's
forests and backwoods, I usually avoid the swampy areas. I did not
have the luxury of avoiding swamp with this hunt. I brought my
hip-waders and managed to reach a few dry places that were surrounded
by water, but nothing was found. I am heading back before the end of
April for one last college try before I hang it up.

Hi Rob, All,

Steve may have beat me there, I'm not sure.  I arrived sometime in the a.m. the 
day after the fall.

Hi Mike -- best of luck on your next trip out there. For everyone to appreciate
just how hard the searching is there, it would be great if those that have been
could provide an estimate of how many hours they spent. Mexico Doug put in
a LOT of time out there. Obviously so did Larry, Mike, Laura, Josh and Brendan.

Hi Rob and List,

I can attest to the difficult terrain. I certainly picked a doozie for
my first meteorite hunt. Even though I have hiked much of Florida's
forests and backwoods, I usually avoid the swampy areas. I did not
have the luxury of avoiding swamp with this hunt. I brought my
hip-waders and managed to reach a few dry places that were surrounded
by water, but nothing was found.  I am heading back before the end of
April for one last college try before I hang it up.

Re: [meteorite-list] Osceola searches

[Michael Gilmer via Meteorite-list]

Hi Rob and List,

Both of my trips involved two full days of searching each and about a
day of driving around.  So, I have close to a week invested already in
these hunts.  My next trip will be another two days minimum, maybe an
extra day or two if we actually find anything.

Best regards,

MikeG
