Believe it or not, this was Pauls very first find by sight alone. It was kinda funny how it happened.... I had just met him (and friend Mike Morgan) at Red Lake intending to show them how to find meteorites by sight alone. After just a few minutes of searching Paul walked over with this little beauty and said, " Ruben, would you look at this, I doubt it is a meteorite." I replied, "You have got to be kidding!" Paul misinterpreted what I said and assumed that he was somehow being ridiculous with his first attempt. Feeling frustated, he quickly snatched it from my hand and drop kicked it as far as he could. I screamed, NO PAUL, It's a meteorite! After, retreaving the stone he was very happy, and now to have it classified I'm sure he it doubly so! Congrats, to Larry Atkins too! (I had nothing to do with his find, He is very good!)
