Hi Ruben and List,

Ruben, didn't you have problems with the BLM?

I was just trying to save some dealers from grief. I do not agree with
the new laws, that were incorporated after much press about the monetary
value of meteorites aired a few years back, but still abide by them.

Anybody dealing meteorites found on public land is at serious risk of
prosecution since they are making themselves low-hanging fruit for
competitors and agents alike. It only takes one phone call. Not only
that, dealers who break the law by selling these finds, jeopardize the
collection of meteorites on public lands for the rest of us. Dealers
breaking the law can be used as examples for even stricter laws
forbidding the hunting of meteorites altogether.

Adam
