>> Hello List,
>>
>> I, too, had a great time at the new West, Tx fall. My son and I arrived
>> there on Wed afternoon, Feb 18th, 3 days after the fall, and hunted all
>> day Thu-Sat, the 19-21st. This was our 1st father-son hunt and it turned
>> out very well, as we found 5 specimens, with a total weight of 270g over
>> those 3 days. ( My son beat me by a factor of about 2.5 to 1 in regard to
>> weight found!)
>>
>> When we arrived home, my wife saw the beautiful stones and said she
>> wanted to go find some of them. In spite of my warning her about the
>> tough terrain and the biting, powerful winds, she still wanted to go. She
>> had been on one hunt with me 13 years ago, with no finds. So, after
>> having to let my regular job interfere with our meteorite hunting for a
>> week, she and I headed back down there for another try over Sun-Tues,
>> 3-1-09 thru 3-3-09 . We got very lucky again, as we both ended up finding
>> one before it was time to leave.
>>
>> Our "find stats" for about 5 day's hunting were:
>>
>> Total number = 7 individuals
>> Total weight = 407g
>>
>> I THINK my son's 133g find is PERHAPS the 5th (or so) largest stone??
>> But this is exactly the point I was hoping to make with this post. It
>> really would be nice if everyone would post their totals as well. That
>> way, we wouldn't be guessing/estimating the total number of stones and
>> the TKW. I think everyone would be very interested to see what the true
>> numbers are.
>>
>> Best wishes,
