Hi All

Dos Cabezas in spanish is two heads . The Dos Cabezas mountains are just
east of Wilcox Arizona . They have a curios double knob on thier highest
peak hence the name . I thought that that would be an apropriate name for
the meteorite since it was found near the base of those mountains . Buy the
way Steve I don't sell or trade my finds so there won't be much of this
meteorite available . I have givin a few small pieces away to very good
friends and those that didn't find any at the hunt .
PS the spelling of Dos Cabezas on this heading is wrong !!
Happy Hunting
John Blennert
