Steve and List,
  Steve congratulations on your super catch. How did
you locate the meteorite? What type of metal detector
were you using or were you using something else?
  Will you have a video CD on the excavation process?
I hope so. This is a find of a lifetime and it and
you will go down in the meteorite history books!!!!!!!
  Best to you and All, Dirk Ross...Tokyo
