Hello Listers

Came across this article today about some guy finding a meteorite that could be worth 2.3 million $$$$. If only it was that easy, well with some hunters it is :) but me being a city boy, I think it would be hard for me to go look for a meteorite on Park Ave or 5 ave lol :)

Down below is an abstract from the article and the link.

Man claims he found meteorite near Merritt
A prospector who was panning for gold alongside the Coldwater River last month came across something he believes is not of this world.
An unusual-loooking rock glistened from beneath about four feet of water, resting above other rocks that were covered with algae.
?I think that if this rock were here for a while, it would have also been covered with algae,? Arnold Dyson, a former miner and prospector, said of his July 8 discovery.
He said with ?99 per cent certainty? that this rock is a meteorite.
?Just look at the way the surface looks melted,? he said. ?You can also see where the impact was made.
?I?ve seen a lot of rocks in my day, but this is unusual.?
