One option is to open an account at one of the free picture host sites, like
myfilehut.com, photobucket.com, thepicplace.com - a google search will give
you loads of sites.

There are some minor restrictions on the free accounts.

A url will accompany the pic that you've posted, and you can copy and paste
that into your MetList post for the link there.

I would like to show a picture of what a friend of a friend thinks might be
a meteorite but I know we are not permitted attachments in our emails to the
list. Any ideas of how I can post a few pictures?

The object which this person dug up (on a 20 acre rural plot in Illinois) is
very round, 9 1/4 inch in diameter and weighs 110 lbs. That's pretty much
the density of iron, 7.87 g/cc or 492 lb/ft3. It's surface is rusted, but
it is nearly perfectly round. The rusted surface gives the impression of
thumbprints but it is simply rusted. I think it's a cannonball but am not
certain that old cannonballs were this size and weighed 110 lbs.

I filed off a chink to do a nickel test but so far haven't the right
chemicals to do one.

Any ideas?

Dave
