Yes, I celebrate my birthday every year by going out in the back yard with a baseball mitt and scanning the skies wistfully for 10-15 minutes. So far, the Meteorite Gawds have not seen fit to answer my petition; rather like Linus and his eternally hopeful anticipation of the Great Pumpkin.

Hi Mike and List, I can't speak to the pairing possibilities between the Fredericksburg iron and the Richland iron, but I'm reasonably confident that the Dutch Flat iron is not a repatriated Sikhote. While Dutch Flat is a kissing cousin to Sikhote-Alin for many (but not all) trace elements that
