Congratulations on your first meteorite find! (You'll always remember your
first!)
I've never been to Holbrook, but hope to check it out someday.

> Anyone else have a picture of their first finds?

My first find was Silver Dry Lake 001 near Baker, CA, in May 2000. And what
a
first find it was! Over 200 grams with a nice cracked, black fusion crust.
Find
information is in Met. Bull. #85 in the table of ordinary chondrites (this
one was
an L4). I've posted a couple images:
