Hi,

You got it partly right when you said, "you wouldn't argue, would
you?" No I wouldn't argue - there are too many other positive things
I can do...

guy send me
a piece of tar thinking he had a $2,000,000.00 meteorite after seeing
one on TV.
?Had there been no price tag attached, he probably would not have
bothered with
it and the BLM would not be on full alert.

But, methinks thou hast put us on the slippery slope to extinction.
Yeah..I got
some press yesterday..but I refused to talk money with the reporters.
They had
already seen Meteorite Men and the videos on YouTube and all that
prompted them
to do the story of my find was "What is it worth?" ?They figured their
editors
wouldn't print without an evaluation. "No bucks...No Buck Rogers." It
took a lot
of dancing to get them to do the story just on the basis of the science.
