First want to publicly congratulate STEVE AND GEOFF for a great job on the NEW
TV show!!
Second, I want to say that after months of negotiating and waiting (and with
Wow Ruben, congrats! From now on your hunting-job will turn out to be pretty
easy. But I do miss the copy of a fair contract you concluded with the
wonder-dog her(?)self - what about 1 big T-bone-steak for 500 gms ordinary
chondrite / 50 gms cc's / 20 gms achondrites / 3 gms planetary etc. ?
Thank you Jack,
Does anyone have any photos of Toluca tools they could share? Any other
thoughts about Toluca as a sour se of this axe? If from Toluca would that make
this a possible Mayan or Aztec culture or would you simply say Pre-Columbian
artifact? Thank you.

Hi Carl,
The photos of the iron object you posted are interesting. Perhaps we
could give you more information if you could tell us why you think that the
object is prehistoric, why it is meteoritic and why it is an ax?
Thanks,

Dear List Members,
Just a friendly reminder that the historical items up for auction from the
Nininger/Huss estate are due to end tomorrow. Dr. H.H. Nininger is considered

I purchased this at an estate sale in Tucson and all the lady told me was that
her late husband told her it was made of meteor and was a weapon from Egypt
used for killing and not for kitchen use. ( good words to help sell? Maybe!)

Hi Carl,
When a meteorite is heated and worked any widmanstatten pattern is
usually destroyed. So the lack of a pattern won’t prove anything.
I am somewhat skeptical as to your objects origin. My skepticism arises
out of the shape of the handle. From the photos the handle

Hello List, Geoff and Steve,
The Meteorite Men was a great piece of work. Geoff you had some wonderful
things to say about meteorites that should help the hobby.
I really enjoyed it, so did many others that I told to watch it.
It looked like you guys had fun and some real work too:)
List,
This is not the shape of a tool made to hack, throw, push or pull. The shape
of the blade and the location of mass is wrong. Further, a people that was
short of iron would not have made an implement with a solid handle.
I suggest this is a bar scarffed to be joined by welding to a
