This is the largest known TKW of chondritic material recovered from one meteorite here in Nevada. The TKW is 76 kg's, it is classified as an H4. This is the lake bed where the Meteorite Men episode was filmed last year. I revisited the lake last month with a couple of friends and recovered several more pieces.

It would be nice to see many people enjoy this area as the many that have been able to enjoy Gold Basin ( Thanks to Jim, John and Twink).

This lake bed is actually closer to Ely, Nevada and is in an area that I have spent many years exploring. Hopefully someday he will find his own strewn field and will be able to share his exciting news with us all.
