Hopefully enough material is recovered to satisfy the Canadian institutions,
leaving the extra for export permits :)

Are any of our Canadian friends searching? Patrick? Roman?

Best of luck!

LONE ROCK, SASK - Two small rocks embedded in the ice of a farmer's fishing
pond are the first discovered fragments of the meteor that lit up the sky
last week.

They were found yesterday by University of Calgary geologist Alan Hildebrand
and graduate student Ellen Milley.

The pair have been scouring the area 15 km south of Lloydminster for several
days, talking to witnesses and triangulating the information.

Hildebrand said the landowner, Ian Mitchell, now owns the meteorites and any
more found on his land. They're worth $1 to $10 per gram. A head-sized rock
could fetch up to $50,000.
