Wishing for a second season of Meteorite Men? Be careful what you wish for.
If you did not like the prices of this fall just wait until after season 2 of

I echo Rubens sentiments. Thankyou very much Michael for providing
this excellent service to us all, it is very much appreciated. And
thankyou for doing such a sterling job with the Wold cottage pic of
the day.

Jeff,
What an absolutely fantastic video! Perfectly done, i have watched it
quite a few times. The music is timed just right, when the shot of the
earth is revealed and the music comes to a crescendo, just amazing!
Thankyou for sharing
Cheers

Thank you so much for this interesting link, Peter. This exhibition,
documenting the permanent Swiss engagement in Oman, seems to be amazing as
it shows the manifold phenomena of meteorites and meteorite-hunting in the
desert.
Best regards,
Matthias

Honestly, if I had the cash I'd give you $20k for the whole thing.

Sounds like BS to me. A 9 year old girl had a fatal heart attack upon
hearing the explosion? Melted items and residual heat footprints? 3 houses
(one with a crater on the floor), blown up but they can't find a single
fragment. Somehow I don't believe it. When will they ever learn that
Oh wait, the 9 year old girl dropped dead of fright after hearing the Bone
meteorite hit. I guess that's fairly common, little girls having fatal
heart attacks after hearing loud noises!
They couldn't find any fragments, because it's dark in the house, I guess
they don't have flashlights in
I think I may have mentioned this on the list once before
Many years ago in Columbia during an especially vivid meteor shower,
two slum-dwelling children were killed in a fire following a meteor

have electricity.
Thank you, Dirk.
I'm in Jakarta now, and will be the scene of explosion tomorrow, which is not
far away from the place i'm living in.
By the way, I did hear a couple of huge thunders on Thursday at that time i was
taking a nap, but didn't relate them to a meteorite fall. Thanks again for your

Here is a link to see some new photos of the kerchner Stone
These were taken by perfessional photographer Mark Hirsch and also a meteorite
hunter - He found a stone around 20g when hunting with Robert Woolard, Larry
Atkins, Karl Ashton, and Jerry Hinkle and was in the RFSPOD on April 25th
Hence the reason I came back to the hotel... ;) Open fields, tornados,

I wouldn't expect anything less from a dealer, with few exceptions.
The point, Darryl, is that I wouldn't care if it's the largest stone
or the smallest one - and I know for a fact that there are larger
stones from this fall that have already been found.
Just...look at those photos. It's a
The stones are already burnt! ;-)

Why all the over-passionate debate about a man in a free country that found a
stone and cut it up to sell it?
What business is it of ours how he plays with his rock?
If someone thought it was so beautiful, they could have offered to buy it and
thus preserve it's beauty.
It's actually
I have to agree.
If it was the only stone found, that would be one thing.
But when over 10kg has already been found and many, many more kgs are out
there, this one stone, while nice is not the end all be all of the fall.
There are many others that are just as nice, or better that are available
If someone thought it was so beautiful, they could have offered to buy
it and thus preserve it's beauty
Not really...someone could still think it was so beautiful, but also not
afford to buy it.

If it was a complete stone and oriented - I would never cut it; mortgage my
house first.
Otherwise - perhaps.
Does anyone know the biggest find to date? Is this still it?
Happy hunting to everyone still there.
I may decide to go to WI in three or four weeks, so leave a few for me.

Hello,
The rumors are getting out of hand... There will be more stones recovered and
there are already a few recovered stones coming up for sale... BUT NONE have
been verified by anyone. You get the stones in your hand then you know.
Also, DO NOT MEET ANYONE ALONE TO BUY STONES. It is
Hello List,
I am going to step in here and take issue with this concept that it is
unethical or some how morally wrong to cut a meteorite.
The scientific value in a meteorite is in the information it contains. To
obtain most of this information, a rock has to be cut, sometimes to the extreme

Hi All,
First off, wanted to congratulate Joe on his nice 320g find. After
so many days in the field, you deserved to find a big one.
I put in about 30-35 miles of searching in my 2 1/2 days there,
and as others who have walked much greater distances will tell
you, that's probably only enough to

Thanks for the tornado update. I was afraid that was going to happen since
the Weather Channel gave Wisconsin a 4 out of 10 chance that tornados would

Best to all, hopefully no tornados, but be ready to go underground in the

Take care,

Hi Michael and list,
You gave good advice about not meeting any strangers wanting to meet to look

to rob someone. I hope it doesn't happen, but you are right. Be careful,

Dear list members,
I was wondering about the price about the two falls, Wisconsin and Tamdakht (
nwa fall example). why does Wisconsin is expensive more than Tamdakht 30
times? is it because of the TKW, the a video of the fireball was taken or
tamdakht was felt in NWW ( since nwa is known
Simple: DEMAND.
US and European falls are always sought after more than ANY other falls. From
my sales of meteorites over the last 13+ years, the US and European FALLS fly
off the shelves whereas Moroccan meteorites, take some time (sometimes YEARS to
sell). Furthermore, the majority of
Which is very ironic seeing as how most NWA falls remain very stable and
weather very little to none when recovered soon after the fall.
Just goes to show how much of a deal NWA meteorites are.
Hope everyone is doing good!

Hi Aziz,
I think it shows, most of all, that collectors identify more with
falls that have occurred in their country of origin -- particularly
falls such as this that have been sensationalized by strong media
coverage, multiple videos of the fireball, the strongest Doppler
radar returns of any
Hmm... I suppose Tagish Lake the Hammer Hysteria are the base or were the
turning point, for some - by far not all - high prices (in relation to 10

Hi Aziz and List,
Attempting to figure out meteorite pricing is a difficult challenge. The very
best you can do is follow trends.
In the case of new falls, hype will increase prices only temporarily then they
tend to plunge dramatically. I stopped trying to figure out the hammer stone
