Ruben, Jim, List,

I can't wait to see the video Ruben. This is really great, a trouble
free, productive, group hunt that has contributed to dozens of peoples
life experiences. I really wish I could have been there! It's
especially satisfying to see someone find their first meteorite.. I
think we get to relive our first finds, vicariously, for a fleeting
moment, and share in the experience of the person actually making the
find. You guys kicked it out there! Not bad company either, sounds like
a great group of people, a bunch of whom I know and have hunted with
before, I certainly missed out on having a good time with some great
people.

Great work all the way around and congrat's to all.

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Subject: [meteorite-list] 99th year Anniversary Holbrook Hunt ? A Huge
Success!


Hi all,

While there are still some hunters in the field I can honestly say
this has been a great success. Believe it or not, this was the most
successful hunt I have personally witnessed in Holbrook. One hunter
walked away with nearly a pound of beautiful - 99 year old -Holbrook
meteorites. Yes, he did win the ?largest find? trophy!

We had world class hunters, Nick Gessler, Bob Verish, Moni Waiblinger
as well as Erik and Ben Fisler that came to share their knowledge and
expertise with new hunters. A few of these future ?Hall of Fame?
Hunters shocked and inspired us all with the shear number and size of
their finds! I have great footage of the spectacular specimens found!

Over 50 people attended and 47 participated in yesterdays hunt.
Imagine this, all but 10 found one or more meteorites. However, NO ONE
went home empty handed.

Except for Larry?s mutli-pound specimen of a few years ago this hunt
was the most successful in the last 10-20 years ? at least that I know
of?..

I am currently editing footage of this hunt that will go down as one
to be remembered.
I won?t spoil the surprise just yet but I think everyone will be
shocked at how much was recovered and how the ?Mighty Holbrook Strewn
Field? is still giving up!

I?m happy to report that I witnessed NO arguing, No trash left behind,
NO trouble whatsoever!

So, thanks to all that attended and thanks for making us all look good.

Stay tuned for video and photos!

Rock On!
