 Hi Count Deiro I read your post last night of you finding a 13.7 Kilo LL6
. Then I went to bed and had a dream of finding my own 13.7 kilo monster.
Then I woke up & no big meteorite. I would love to see a photo of that
baby sticking out of the ground and a photo of it out of the ground.

 Also I gotta say I'm manifesting being that dumb ass newbie that trips over
the lunar.

Next time I come to L.V. you gotta come out to Jean airport for a flight
with me. I lived in Vegas selling flight out of Boulder city Airport . But
being a country boy I had to move back to the country here in Wa. State

Have a great day hope to see a pic of your find.

Ah, come on you guys. You talk like we relative "newbies" are a sandwich
short of your picnic. I carry a very powerful (+50) neomydium on a staff I
use, cause I'm a cripple and I don't like to fall down, or bend over. But,
my first location device is my own pair of MK2 eyeballs backed by
recognition patterns learned in studies on line, in papers, texts and
handling in person thousands of meteorite wrongs and rights. Yeah, I know,
I'll never catch up to you in numbers, but you'd be surprised at the
difference in each individual's learning abilities, memory and powers of
observation. Per esempio. I was dropped in a known strewnfield that had been
worked, admittedly for six years, by one of the best hunters in the Americas
and several of his equally experienced dealer/hunter friends. Within an hour
I spotted a 13.7 kilo LL6 sticking three inches out of the ground. I had
used my eyes first, then the cane second. If it hadn't been attracted I
would have picked it up anyway to loup
 e it. If it was obviously not a wrong, but still ringing bells (possible
planetary, or other rariety) I would have put it down. Then cubed, GPS'ed
and taken a photo, put it in a baggy (if it would fit) and taken it home to
the scope. But guess what?...this LL6 clicked, albeit lightly. So, you had
better use a lunaite to embarass "newbies" with their magnets. And keep in
mind that hunting for meteorites isn't a very complicated business. Hell,
you can teach dogs to do it.
And about that first lunar to be found in the Americas...don't be surprised
if some reportably dumb ass newbie trips over it.
