Hi Dave,

The Nobelsville meteorite is really a nice stone. Well, was anyway. The kids
that found it sold it. Then, of course, it was sliced up like a loaf of
bread. Well actually more like a muffin since it was not very large. Here is
a link to a picture of it as a whole stone.

And here is a link to a pic of the two boys who almost lost their heads to
the cosmic stone:

Regarding your Hamlet, It does not appear much like any Hamlet I have seen,
but rather more like the LL4s coming out of the Sahara et. al.

Any chance there was a mix-up somewhere in the packaging? Or could you piece
of Hamlet have been found years after the fall?

Cheers,

Martin
