Cool, are any of those Whetstones available for sale?  I hadn't heard of any found since Dec 2009.   Any updates on the TKW?  Any smaller pieces found?   Happy hunting, Mark B. Vail, AZ - Original Message From: Michael Farmer m...@meteoriteguy.com To: Mike Hankey mike.han...@gmail.com

Hey all, We may not have room in our truck, but we will try to help out.  We probably won't meet at Denny's because we're driving up Sat. morning.  But if people have to park their cars along the main road coming in, maybe we can help with rides from there.   As far as the rain goes - we've

Carl all, From what I understand gold is deposited with quartz because gold rarely occurs as a mineral.  Mineral deposits are formed by mineralized waters and magma. As these solutions move along faults, joints and form veins, different elements mate together to produce minerals as

Claim jumping implies trespassing onto clearly marked piece of land wihin which the claim holders have the legal right to the minerals and/or rock materials. In this case there is no legal process to claim meteorites. The landowners have ownership of these meteorites. Only the people who

I imagine you would see something similar to shows in Anaheim. People would be drawn to the casinos (like they are drawn to Disney Land), and sales wouldn't be as good as they would be in a place where the major attraction is the show. This problem has been building for many years. It seems

Good summary Jason (for newbs or those like me who drop in and out of the list - I know a lot has escaped me the past few years). I think ads are pretty easy to ignore since people are good about including ad in the subject line. In fact they're probably the easiest of pet peeves to avoid on
