Hi folks,

Ok, ok --- most that know me know that most of me lives on this planet, the leftover(s) may be "out" there.
So, I propose what Will be a collectable picture.
Someone with the resourses, time & gumption to:
Take a swamp airboat with a 3X4 foot magnetometer or some variation(s) thereof slowly towed behind it.
In situ pics will most likely be impossible. Bring waders & a fun spirit.
Kinda like going fishing and gettin some snapper, dolphin, grouper etc. and after a great fun day fishing you
realize that that cleaned fish cost you 'bout $60 a pound (y'all what know what i'm saying). Same thing.

So&so with waders & a shovel holding a chunk of whatever with a big smile. Stupid-yes, do able-yes.
First meteorite recovered from underwater on a dry lake bed? If I had the money - i'm in.

I know there's someone out there saying "i'll do it". That picture will be a classic.

Well, i've had my fun for today.

John

  The last time I drove by there, it looked like a real lake. I don't know how to check that now without driving there. Lots of Cranes hanging out there in the water. https://tucson.com/news/local/as-many-as-sandhill-cranes-roosting-near-willcox/article_0195a014-702a-5052-9eaf-757989b7dc77.html

      I've tracked the precipitation for NOAA since December in Willcox Playa and it has been less than 1 inch this month.
      There is currently no rain or snow predicted for Willcox AZ that week according to the Weather Channel and weather underground.
      On some sites, they say the probability is 10 to 30% at the highest.

        Better look at the weather. Lots of rain lately. Snow those days possible. You might not get off the lake if you go out there.

          Hello fellow collectors,


          I will be in arriving in Tucson this Sunday. I've planned a group hunt activity on Feb 3rd or 5th depending on weather/people's availability. We have about 10 people signed up and we plan to eat somewhere in the morning then head out to the lakebed for an all-day hunt. You can message me on Facebook or through email to join in on the fun!
          So far we have Cameron Smith, Fred McPherson, Ily Fisher, LA. Boltryk, Pat Brown, Roberto Vargas, Sean Mahoney, Topher Spinnato, Brandon's Meteorite, Travis Howard and myself Raymond Borges.


          Thanks,
          Raymond
