Hi Jim and All,

Jim asked if an older meteorite has ever been found while hunting for a new
fall... Yes! Jack Schrader not only discovered the first Whetstone Mountains
meteorite, he also found a completely different meteorite while hunting
there. I forget the name of that one at the moment, too full of popcorn! ;-)

Happy hunting, good luck to everyone out there!!

Best Regards,
Greg
