Come on Todd!

a little fish? It's a DREAM for every collector once to find a meteorite!
A dream, which for the biggest part of European collectors won't come true.
Due to the climate here in Central Europe meteorites decay rapidely, we have
no suitable or arid hunting grounds and the only place with good chances to
find one is the Morasko strewnfield in Poland.
Otherwise we always have to wait for new observed falls as for instance
Neuschwanstein, Moravka or that new one in Spain to get a minimal chance to
find one, hence all in all it's more probably to hit the lotto jackpot than
to find an own meteorite here!
(O.k. fortune favours fools, Matteo?)

So run an extra lap of honour around your finds
and from me an accretive:

Buckleboo!
Martin
