I know lots of people that are gold prospectors here in Arizona, they will
take anyone anytime to teach them how to find gold. These same poeple guard
their areas well and no amount of talking or liquer will persuade them to
give up their best locations. I have found that if you show these people a
willingness to work hard, walk for miles, sweat you ass off and not complain
they will take you to the places they find the best gold.

Greg, you are sounding a bit childish here. I do not hunt meteorites and I
live in AZ. I do buy meteorites from time to time and I expect to pay for
the hard work that goes into the recovery of the stones. I have been gold
prospecting a couple of times and found that it was hours of back breaking
work in the hot desert, digging in unforgiving ground only to find nothing.

The same goes for finding meteorites, well except the digging for the most
part. Gold is found WAY more easily than space rocks.

I have been on this board for many years and I have always found that
EVERYONE here is always willing to help, teach, instruct, and give all the
info they have to anyone here who asks.

PERHAPS I missed the post where you POLITELY asked to help, if so I
apologize but so far all I have seen is WHINING.

Perhaps if you were to offer your help and explain what you can, could or
would be willing to contribute to a project, someone might step up and ask
you along.

This is in regards to "A secret"

This new fall in Arizona is not being kept secret because of money. Why
can't a group of friends who enjoy meteorite hunting and find a strewn field
keep it within themselves?! Lets take a look back at West, Texas. Within a
day of finding material, there were so many people tromping through peoples
yards it was insane! (Soon we were getting kicked off of property that we
had full permission to hunt on until it became flooded with treasure hunters
and meteorite enthusiasts from all over) Having said that, we don't want a
repeat of West right here in our own backyard. The material will be
recovered, the data in regards to the strewn field will be preserved, unlike
the usual chaos that ensues at a new fall. There are a number of places that
people hunt at that are not open for everyone and their brother to jump
into. It's sad that some people have to try to make an issue out of
something wonderful. Like trying to make our group look
 bad because they can't be involved. Jack found the strewn field, Jack
deserves to handle this the way he chooses without being ridiculed.
Anyways, Robert and myself would like to congratulate Jack on this
incredible recovery!!!!

Sincerely,
