Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin
Mineral Point is the largest town East of Livingston and a big town for tourists to visit and stay in for surrounding tourist attractions. They used it basically in the article since most people in Wisconsin, nor in Illinois, nor Iowa have any idea where Livingston is since it only has 697 people or so and certainly no one in the rest of the US or outside the US have ever heard of Livingston, Wisconsin. I have friends that I visited in Iowa county, the county where Mineral Pt. is, for 15 years and never heard of it, but have been through Mineral Point. I could tell you were Alice Springs is at in Australia and Mt. Fuji is in Japan and where the Seychelles and The Maldives are, but no idea where Livingston is if I hadn't heard of it since April 14th. Livingston and the surrounding area is a spot on the road if you ask the guys that are out there. They go up to Dodgeville to get gas even. The article used it as a reference point since that entire Southwest corner of Wisconsin is mostly farmland, grazing and some woods. The specimen the man is holding looks exactly like all the other specimens that have been found this past week, about 2 dozen, roughly. Madison WI is the largest town in the area where the University of Wisconsin is, the largest university in the area. Racine, Wisconsin is a smaller city along Lake Michigan just south of Milwaukee. It could be worth a couple of thousand USDs depending on how much is found and the demand for this meteorite. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin
Dirk is correct in his post. If you recall an article by a writer on Sunday, I believe from the Madison Wisconsin paper, where she states and quotes a professor and scientist at the U of Wisconsin at Madison who was accepting specimens and telling farmers to not trust the meteorite collectors because they would buy them and sell them at a higher price. This of course is apparently biased on the part of the U of W, probably where the girl went to school. I personally don't trust a lot of people up there. People are friendly in Wisconsin, but they are friendly everywhere, depending on their nature and you have to take each with a grain of salt so to speak. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin
Good Morning All! True, Livingston is a little known town in Wisconsin, but is very rich in history. The town was founded by F.Hugh Livingston, my wife's Great Great Grandfather. His linage includes Sam Livingston, founder of Calgary, Canada and Dr. David Livingston, explorer of Africa. If you are a Livingston or a Watson, I have the family tree back to John Livingston, born 1754. So, needless to say, my wife and I would love to see the new fall named Livingston. If would be easier for me to justify buying a sample too. :-) Good Luck All..

Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin
I guess I don't see why you're calling it nutbag or lunacy. While Mineral Point does seem a too far east of Livingston, but the article states a none explicit just west of... 130 grams at $20 per gram = $2600, so the value of thousands sounds reasonable.

Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin
Interesting. Mineral Point is over 20kms ESE of Livingston. I don't know how far East folks are searching but maybe the strewnfield is bigger than first thought?

Re: [meteorite-list] nut bag reporting award Wisconsin
I'm confused, this actually could be important information leading to the size and shape of the strewn field. Also, just West is vague, so we do not know exactly were it was found. This is and odd quote, Magnets stuck to the rock easily— the first time Dutch has seen that in 33 years on the job he has not seen magnets stick to a rock. Anyway if the strewn field is this large, the potential for many more finds is possible. Greg S.
