My question is, at what rate can we expect them to
corrode?

disolve? TL is a fresh water lake and the meteorite is
a largely organic water disolvable substance. Ergo ,
I believe Unrecovered TL is oooze by now. Nothing to
corrode or rust.

Kidding aside, If you are speaking about Tagish Lake
They will have disolved into mud.

What say you list?

>>>I say there have only been a hand full of
recoveries in and about the water but you find them
where you find them. The Emerald(NON)Mete0rite was an
operation to recover apparent slag from one of the
great lakes.---Otherwise, I say....Welcome to the
list. Sorry to hear of your new affliction.
