Rob, A quick tally suggests I spent approximately 190 hours in the field for my 2 stones. My friend Darryl and my Uncle Brent spent about 80 hours each, without a find. Laura probably hunted about 125 hours or so for her one stone. My 2 brothers were there for a few days, no finds. Mike made

Hi Rob and List, Both of my trips involved two full days of searching each and about a day of driving around. So, I have close to a week invested already in these hunts. My next trip will be another two days minimum, maybe an extra day or two if we actually find anything. Best regards, MikeG

Hi Rob and List, I can attest to the difficult terrain. I certainly picked a doozie for my first meteorite hunt. Even though I have hiked much of Florida's forests and backwoods, I usually avoid the swampy areas. I did not have the luxury of avoiding swamp with this hunt. I brought my hip-waders

Congratulations to Mike, Larry, Laura, Josh and Brendan for their aggressiveness in getting to the fall location quickly and their persistence in the face of very unfavorable searching conditions (SWAMP!) It is an impressive feat that anything was found at all, even with the nice radar returns.
