Re: [meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill meteorite hunt pictures
Hi, Sonny. Great pictures, thanks for posting them. And what a spectacular find, congrats! Have fun on Trouble Maker. I did the entire middle fork for my buddy's bachelor party years ago.

Re: [meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill Meteorite Hunt
Sonny, Good hunting with you up there, had a lot of fun! Looking forward to the pictures of your stone and I still contend it is the best looking stone of them all (so far). Just an awesome specimen! Might also go back up soon.

I would like to thank Marc Fries and Rob Matson for their tireless efforts coordinating all the data. These two folks made it all possible. Thanks, you guys rock! It was great to see everyone out in the field working together to recover pieces of this rare fall. It was a pleasure to see such comradery amongst all of the teams. I hope to have the pictures up on my web site over the next few days. You will be surprised at some of the shots. It was a blast. I will include a picture of my spectacular 8.3 gram fully fusion crusted oriented complete stone. The fusion crust just glistens in the sun. I wish the best of luck to the hunters still out in the field. Who knows, maybe I can try and get back out next week. It amazes me how popular this carbonaceous chondrite is . Who would think that this suspected CM chondrite is selling in the field for three times the price of a witnessed martian meteorite fall.

[meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill meteorite hunt
Day two of the meteorite hunt ended with no new finds other than a few fragments of the parking lot specimens here in California. Many people are here, some new faces, most well known, all hunting for the fall of a lifetime, a CM2, only California's third fall. I walked many miles today, with nothing to show but sore feet, but i did buy out ~1gram of fragments recovered from the parking lot piece found by Dr. Jeniskens. more pieces were scattered in the lot. Sadly this rarest of rare meteorites fell in one of the toughest terrains I have ever had the displeasure of searching for meteorites in. As of right now less than 15 grams has been found despite large scale search. Of course that could change at any moment with the right find. So far it has been fun, i almost stepped on small rattlesnake today, so be careful, he did not rattle. Police were involved in a couple of hunters day for innocent reasons, seems landowners called cops even when hunters had permission, people are kind of private up here, and park rangers were getting interested in people hunting for rocks. It could get interesting really fast with tomorrow's barrage of news that is coming down the pike. Still, this is one of the rarest falls on my lifetime, and worth working oneself nearly to death to try and find. i hope as much as possible is recovered for the science that can be done. Congrats again to Robert Ward for finding the first smallest needle in the worlds largest haystack, something that 50 people today did not duplicate.

Re: [meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill meteorite hunt
Hi Mike, Only 15 grams from such a large fall? Wow! That means that there must be lots left to find. Maybe it's already been posted but what is the total estimated weight of the fall? I plan to go soon myself and I wonder if the GPS locations of specimens found are being cataloged yet? Although, I imagine that it would be a bitter sweet thing to have all the finds cataloged this soon.

All I have found is a rattlesnake. The fragments I have I bought. Heavy rain all night last night, but clear from now on. Perhaps today I'll get mine.
