It's just the regular politics of a new fall. Everyone loses their minds.
I'm happy, I found mine so I'm leaving the strewnfield and avoiding the circus now that it's gone public.
Love to watch the fireworks though.

>> Ruben may I ask a question? you said 'This fall is not for everyone - it couldn't be - as there was only 59 grams worth of slices to go round. I emailed universities last night and gave them first shot at owning a slice. Many of them acquired specimens and were happy to do so.'
>>
>> My question : what sort of University would be interested in a>$1500 tiny slice of possible L6 meteorite even if its fresh and witnessed, there is no scientific value in a witnessed fall unless the trajectory can be calculated from its parent body to Earth?
>>
>> its just adds to the pile of 30,000 meteorites we have that seem to be ever increasing or decreasing in value! Where are they all from respectively? This is the biggest question
>>
>> collecting because its witnessed is just romantic collecting
