I just came from there, what are you talking about?
Perhaps the 3 feet of snow covering them all impedes the hunt for the moment.

> Hi List. I guess I am surprised here with the Chelyabinsk event. It has to be one of the most historical events in many decades. For sure one of the most media covered meteorite events! My confusion surrounds the fact that less meteorite events (still extraordinary but less covered then the Chelyabinsk event) like Carancas, Park Forest, etc. that these events were stormed with famous meteorite Hunters running or flying out to find some treasures to keep and sell.. Where are these same Hunters/ Dealers with the Chelyabinsk event!!? The Mike Farmers, the Michael Cottingham's, the Steve Arnold's, the Geoffrey Notkin's etc! All REAL QUIET. Isn't this one of the greatest events in history with what appears to be many stones all over the strewnfield. Yet hardly a well know Hunter to count on for purchasing specimens. What is there no money to make on this event to cover the cost of flying to Russia? Collectors have to rely on taking a risk with little or no name Sellers. Where or what happened to the American De
alers and Sellers with this meteorite event? I mean its been almost 2 months since the fall. Is something going on as a collector I/We should know about? I had heard of 2 reputable Hunters stating they were going to Russia, but total silence! Am I the only one who is confused on this whole Chelyabinsk event with many top well known Dealer/Seller/Hunter's?
