Hi Tom, Congrats on your first Franconia meteorite find! (See -- I ~told~ you you should be going there whenever you get a chance!) The fairly large metal veins are diagnostic for Franconia H5.
You had better luck than I on my last trip there March 31. Left at 1 am from California, started hunting at 6 am after a breakfast/gas stop at good 'ole exit 9, spent 11+ hours in the field, and then drove home. A long 21-hour "day". The drive always seems that much longer when you come home empty-handed, but at least I got some photos of the horned lizard and some of those giant yellow caterpillars that are at Franconia by the thousands). Also had a nice visit with Jim Smaller and Dennis Wells who always seem to be there when I am!
