Paul, Interesting points here. Falls a bit outside of the field of meteoritics but, still a fair use for old strewnfield co-ords. I wonder Paul. Has this data ever been used in such a way? I can think of one example that this theory sorta works with. As far as I know there has only been two

If they see that the Meteorite Men are at these secret locations, this secrecy can perpetuates the lack of importance of documentation, they no better and are only doing what is seen on TV. I may be wrong, but it seemed to me that with each episode, there were scenes of Geoff and Steve

Shawn, During that episode in the dry lake bed you speak of. Remember the part where they talk about the rocks moving around through the years and how they appear in areas that have already been searched? This has already been pointed out as another reason co-ords have little relevance. because

Hi Shawn, I agree that the public needs to be informed about how to recover meteorites in the field and preserve scientific data. Recovering meteorites and their coordinates is vitally imporant to the science of meteorites. However the degree of importance is also based in part on how long

Hello List, This has been a good topic and I can see the importance of people trying to document finds of meteorites. If that be taking a photo and remembering where you found it or explaining to your friends about the time you where in the mountains and you found a strange rock. Each
