Hi All,
Robert mentioned his 22.61 kg oriented nose cone below, but it's actually
Dhofar 1433 (not 1431). On the one hand it's hard to believe he'd forget
the number of this spectacular piece, but on the other hand he's found so
many meteorites I'm sure it must be hard to keep track ;-) Anyway, I was
fortunate enough to acquire an end section from one of the three smaller
fragments Robert also recovered; it's here on this page, and if you scroll
down you'll see the unbelievable specimen he was referring to:

All the best,
Dave

Hello Sonny, List, As per Art's request I will not discuss the Nevada issue,
but I am happy to address Sonny's request that I disclose the agreements I
have in regards to the shares on my hunts. On desert hunts the finder keeps
all of his common chondrites, we do split rare achondrites, lunars,
carbonaceous chondrites, rumurutiites, ect. The thought of my 22.61 kilo DHO
1431 oriented nose cone having been cut in half so that my partner could get
his share is unimaginable to me.
Also, if one finds a broken individual and your partner finds the other
piece, let's say ten feet away, that piece belongs to the original finder,
and that person calls the shots on how the strewn field is hunted from that
point on. All of our agreements are made before we even step foot on an
airplane, this prevents any misunderstandings. As far as Glorieta Mountain
is concerned, every person I have hunted with that has found meteorites kept
their finds, Patrick Hermann, Robert Haag, myself, Shauna Russell, Jim
Strope. I feel that if you work for it, it was meant for you. On large scale
projects such as Springwater we do split equally, but this is a mining
project essentially, we all have a lot of money invested, and all open
ground gets covered, the 'luck of the hunt' is not such of a factor, it was
simply in your grid area. Sonny, I hope this public statement answers you
questions. May I suggest you have a contract in writing with your partners,
and the land owners in the future to prevent these
recurrent problems. Regards, Robert Ward.
