Greg,
I would be glad to take you out to some great desert pavement for a hunt anytime. I can't geruntee that a meteorite has fallen there or that you will find anything.I can geruntee that you will learn ALOT and you don't have to worry about part of one of the many "exclusive" groups in the meteorite community. I had many people go out of their way to teach me what they new about meteorites or give me a boost in anyway they could.
Jim Smaller, Bill Southern, Sony Clary, Anne Black, John Wolf, Dima Sadilenko, Twink Monrad, Geoff Notkin,and many others have all contributed something to my alfiction for meteorite in one way or another.I feel that I would have to do the same for anyone who has the same hunger as I havefor this hobby. I don't know where you live but I live in Phoenix.
 
[Erik]
