I think it was found on Super Bowl Sunday. The ink on the sign had scarcely dried when I heard that a 7kg piece was found a few days later.</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>I remember when Gold Basin first came out and the price was well north of $1.50 per gram. Before long, meteorite hunters decended on the Gold Basin strewnfield. Last time I checked on ebay, Gold Basin could be had for a quarter a gram on some auctions. I heard rumors in Tucson of several groups planning on searching for Franconia meteorites after the show was over. Could Franconia be the next Gold Basin? I can almost hear our Italian friend saying "Bah!, the prices are in ruin"</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE>Randy</DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV> <DIV class=RTE> </DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMBENUS/2734??PS=">Check out the great features of the new MSN 9 Dial-up, with the MSN Dial-up Accelerator.</a> </html> Received on Tue 10 Feb 2004 10:20:42 PM PST |
