Hi Doug,

Thanks for your compliments and all the personal emails I've received from
many list members.

It was an amazing find and I still can't get over the excitement. I think
this is really special find and I can't wait to get it classified and
valued!

BTW: I have always been apprehensive about setting up a Facebook page but
today I finally went ahead and made one. I didn't even have a personal page
until today. The page I created today is devoted to Meteorite Hunting And
Other Adventures so, if anyone has any great stories, feel free to share
them here: http://www.facebook.com/MHAOAdventures. The main reason for not
setting up a Facebook page sooner was that I was afraid I might not be able
to keep up with updating it and I can't stand stale websites - I'm a
perfectionist and I can't stand myself sometimes. :)

This marks the second cold find for me. Stories of both finds are on my new
Facebook page if anyone is interested to read more.

Guenther

Nice find, Guenther!

That's a fresh, beautiful chondrite. Well done! It looks so fresh, I wonder
if this could possibly be from the recently witnessed Southern CA-NV meteor
event?
