Mr. R. Gergory: What is this? You have sent an unecessary and uncalled for e-mail to the ENTIRE Meteorite List Members, with what it seems to be a veiled threat? Is this what you mean? Please explain us better.
That you may have full rights, etc. on that peruvian crater, one can accept it, and I certainly do accept it, but on a more careful reading, it can be considered that you might have gone a bit too far with some of your wording, although the heading calls it a "friendly warning"...
You should have realized that NOT everybody on this List is interested in, to quote you: "...even think about it". Save the peruvian details to yourself and to those who, once caught there, might deserve it, but remember that it will be up to the Peruvian authorities to apply the law.
I wish you a good, successful hunting on your peruvian crater.

Jos? Campos

Information is expected to be released in April on the Earth Impact Database that will give the exact coordinates to the Peruvian meteorite crater. I have been warned that meteorite hunters will want to turn this site upside down. If anyone wishes to hunt at this site please contact me and we can discuss.

Should anyone think about hunting without contacting me. I want you to understand that
I have paperwork filing with the Peruvian government giving me mining concession rights to the crater and 100 sq. hectares surrounding the crater. It is a routine matter and approval is expected soon. Even with paperwork pending I still have legal rights here in Peru. I am serious about wanting to keep this crater in pristine condition until scientists have had the opportunity to study it in detail.

Peruvian law has very strict laws concerning trespassing, especially when it concerns mines. I will not hesitate to prosecute and trust me, American jails would be considered luxury resorts compared to South American jails. Your sustenance will consist of beans, potatoes, and rice and maybe a piece of chicken if you're lucky. You might get 1 piece of fruit per week. You will have to drink the local water. Diarrhea will be your constant companion. I guarantee you will have non-stop nightmares all night every night. I know the system and I will make every attempt to lengthen your stay. There are ways to block your attempts to contact the American embassy.

There is currently a standing reward for reporting to the police, any meteorite hunter that may wander into this area. The reward is equivalent to 6 months income for most of the poor people of this area. They are now watchful and vigilant. The towns of Aplao and Castillo are small. Everybody knows everybody and I have many friends in each. All relevant police agencies have been notified by my Peruvian attorney.

My advice, don't even think about it. Alternatively, if you want to hunt at the crater, I am open to discussion, but only after scientific studies have been completed.

Randall
