Nice to read compliments for a change. Mike deserves them. Half my modest collection came through his hands. Straight shooter.

I'm sure he himself would be one of the first to agree with your "Sure he can have his moments..." statement, as he is .... well, let's just say... VERY passionate about meteorites and his business. ;-) And although I don't always agree 100% with Mike, I definitely can say that once you do get to know him, he is one of the most unselfish guys you could hope to meet. I'll never forget how he insisted that I use his metal detector in Sweden for several DAYS, which left him completely unable to hunt for any meteorites, because he had already found some earlier, and he wanted me to have as much chance as possible to find my own. How many of us would be willing to just sit out on hunting for days? And when we were on another trip, he gathered up all our left over food and supplies and gave them to some poor
