Hi Mark
The piles of rock you mentioned are marking where meteorites have been found.
Did you notice that most had a small flag in them? When finding a meteorite
we always scour the area carefully to make sure that there are no other obvious
meteorites around. Several have been found using this methodology. In fact in
October I found two meteorite 18" apart and they fit together. When scouring
the area we then pick up all rocks in the area and use them to help find the
location later. After time the wind strips the flag off the wire. Remember the
GPS will only get you within a few feet.
My friend Kim Cathcart has found over 60 meteorites on the lake and I have
found 5 so you should see a lot of flags on the lake. Additionally all of the
finds are reported to Rob Matson and Bob Verish for future study purposes. I
would recommend that anyone else who finds a meteorite on Roach report your find
information to them as well. Remember the better the information the more
valuable it will be in the future.
Generally it is a good idea to stay away from the areas where the cars
travel. Very few meteorites have been found in this area any way. It is best to stay
closer the edges. I would guess that 70-80% have been found within 150-200'
of the edge. All of mine have.
Happy hunting
Congratulations everybody on the finds I know how hard they are to come by.
Mike
