I = hung out with Steve Arnold (Meteorite Broker) all day. I acquired over = 1.5 kilo today! Here is the kicker I met a kid 16 years old and he pulled out of his pocket the best stone = found from this fall! It is a 854 gram 99.9% fusion crusted individual. = It was found the day after the fall but the kid was freaked out by the = police taking them from people. He didn't tell anyone.=20 The best part about this stone is that it is 100% perfectly ORIENTED, = completely lipped flat back, nosecone front, grooves and light flow = lines on the side and even on the nose has a deep burnout groove. I = almost died when I saw the stone. I made him and offer and we went to = talk with his mother. She told him he wanted a new car and I offered him = enough to buy one. Lets just say he was out car hunting this = afternoon..... This stone will blow minds and likely never leave my = collection. I also got another half kilo 99% crusted individual found in = a backyard the morning of the fall. Pristine of course, and the only = flaw is a piece of grass imbedded in the stone! I sold this piece to a = great customer over the phone 3 minutes after buying it.=20 I hunted alot today but found nothing. The rest of the people who = called me all had slag or asphalt. No other meteorites. It is finished = for the most part.=20 I hunted all over and let me tell you. Some idiots are out here = digging holes EVERYWHERE just like Adam said. I saw so many holes it = just cracked me up. People need to realize that these stones are not 10 = feet deep and covered with green grass. You know they did fall 5 days = ago, so no grass has covered them yet.=20 At least people are still excited. I hope to go home tomorrow = afternoon, since it appears that I am running out of pieces to buy, I = will leave after I hunt just a little more.=20 I had another meeting tonight and I called Steve to meet me for = backup, I feared an ambush, that is how bad the neighborhood or (hood as = it is called here) is.=20 Nice people for the most part, but I went for a hunt in the woods and = you don't even want to know what stuff I saw on the ground out there.=20 As of now I have the most pieces of the fall but little for sale as = most are in the large stones that wont be cut.=20 All who paid me, thanks, Ill get home and hook you all up asap.=20 I am getting copies of many newspapers and making a tape of all the news = reports.=20 Mike Farmer ------=_NextPart_000_00E7_01C2F87D.72568B30 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>He everyone, I also have some = interesting stories=20 to tell, today was my best day here. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>The weather turned great, the hype is = fading and=20 most people are gone.
