Hi Frederic, list

I have to add,
that I learned yesterday from a Suisse list member,
that this Prof. Albert Matter was never a member of the Suisse meteorite
expeditions.
Nor could I find any publications by him about meteorites, he seems to be
only a specialist for sediments.
So probably a person, who has no idea what he's talking about (but why then
he talks at all...).

Buckleboo!
Martin

I 100% agree with you Martin.
This is becoming almost impossible for meteorite hunters to find a place
where it is now allowed to go hunting and even when finding
a new strewnfield, it is getting forbidden as soon as we find some
meteorites! And then the place becomes 'sterile' as no one else
will take the risk to spend money in organising an expedition...
Finally, reaching an agreement with an institution to go hunting seems to be
some kind of dream for the moment... I do not really
understand why as when offering such a possibility, we clearly show that
most of us do not hunt meteorites in order to become
millionnaires, but by passion.
Anyway, let's hope that things may change one of these days...
Best meteoritical wishes
