I will post a couple of links here to show some of the goodies we recently
found in Oman.

Check out this ~40 kilogram nosecone! One of our finds only 3 weeks ago.
Please note, this photo is not when the meteorite was found. It was sitting
face down in the soil, with little hint as to the orientation when found.
When we turned it over, we both about had heart attacks at the beauty of
this meteorite. Later we cleaned it off and found a large sand dune to take
some nice photos.

How bout this 100 pound meteorite?
These are the stuff of dreams for meteorite hunters.

Here is another meteorite that I found, nearly two kilos, absolutely
perfect!

This photo is of the same meteorite, just moments after I found it and
picked it up. This kind of hunting is a dream come true.


Thanks
