Very amusing (and valid) points, Martin! Nobody likes to be subjected to new
rules and restrictions, and it's easy to speculate about the potential pitfalls
of the new BLM rules, but I tend to agree with Norm. If the Feds were really
viewing meteorite hunters as public enemy number one, they c
Hello everybody,
That's right!
3 years after Richard Norton left us, there is a new book by the famous
writing team of Richard and Dorothy Norton.
As Dorothy tells us in the Introduction to "What's so Mysterious about
Meteorites": "He had always wanted to provide a basic introduction to

Hello All,
Now that Battle Mountain is an Officially approved meteorite in the MetBull,
how about I send you'll an updated list of what I have available of the
T-shirts and local Battle Mountain newspaper with an article about
the Meteorite Event. Here is a list of what I have available to the
List,
I humbly submit how I would revise the BLM memorandum with a few
minor additions/clarifications, and a reversion to the previously
established limit of 25-lbs per person per day. I would love to read
others' suggestions as to what would constitute an acceptable policy.

Dear List Members,
I have 54 great auctions ending in less than two hours. This week, I included
some larger than normal sized planetary pieces and started everything out at
just 99 cents with no reserve.
Please take a look if you can spare a few moments.

Concerned list members,
Just remember that there are still places in our US national lands
where it is illegal to pick up even rocks (and not just areas you
would expect like National Parks); be sure to do your homework!
Michael in so. Cal.

Chris, haven't you heard the news? All BLM field offices now have
electron microprobes and planetary geologists to examine finds..
As one friend of mine recently told me off-list - enforcement of these
regulations will be next to impossible. In theory, nothing will
change because nobody in t
I always thought that a rock was just a rock, until it is classified
officially as a meteorite. So to me all those "unofficial meteorites"
out there are just rocks, until proven otherwise by rigorous scientific
examination and a subsequent meteorite classification.

My intellect is anyway too small for these new rules.
Wasn't it so in your country,
That until now an Irving, a Bunch, a Wasson, a Garvie and so on... and
nobody else,
determined a rock to be a meteorite?
So in any case, when you go on BLM land, in first ins

Hi Greg and List (again),
I hope we don't see BLM meteorites treated (by the scientific
community) the same way meteorites from questionable countries are
treated. In other words, I hope the next BLM find or fall does not
become the next Breja. In Breja we had a new fall that scientists and

and their distribution/handling, the more I wonder how that effects those

The problem is we already have self-proclaimed spokespeople working our
behalf. You will find them showing off the latest Mohave finds in front of the
media or selling them on eBay claiming they are worth an outrageous fortune for

Hi Greg and List,
I enjoyed your post, but there is a small nugget of an idea in there
that might be worth thinking about.
It's obvious that very few (if any) people in the BLM know the first
thing about meteorites, meteorite hunting, or the meteorite market.
They are making and implementing rule

Yes a simple change in poundage limits... But also, more importantly, the new
costs associated with new multiple permits required. Environmental surveys
that weren't required before. And new unreasonable delays A greater
possibility of getting hassled and/or a ticket. May seem like almost n
I don't disagree with your thoughts. I am neither a defender nor an apologist
for the BLM regs. I am simply stating that there is almost nothing new in the
recently announced regs other than the poundage limitation.
