Guenther,

Very nice indeed! That thing is so fresh, it probably fell in the last
year or two.

Congrat's on your most excellent find.


Sincerely,

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?
