I haven't hunted meteorites - other than the occasional fall or probable fall - in many years and no I never had any trouble with any government or state agency relating to meteorites or anything else.?

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.

I do not normally comment on ads but sellers should keep in mind that
selling meteorites found on public lands in the U.S. is against federal law.
I do not want to see anybody get into trouble because, as some List Members
have found out the hard way, the BLM does monitor meteorite sales,
especially eBay. Meteorites may be casually collected, i.e., for free and
without a permit, under FLPMA However,in accordance with the BLM's
regulations at 43 CFR 8365.1-5 collection is limited to certain public
lands, (2) only specimens up to ten pounds may be collected per person per
year, and (3) only surface collection with the use of non-motorized and
non-Mechanical equipment is allowed; metal detectors are okay. However,
specimens that are casually collected are for personal use only, and may not
be bartered or sold for commercial purposes. Reference:

have 32 auctions running right now with some ending in about 24 hours. Most
started at .99 with no reserve and some still have no bids. There are a few

11107 a rare eucrite melt. Right now there is a 2.8 gram end cut with only 2
bids, $2.51 at the moment. > > Some other highlights would be the rarely
