[meteorite-list] Slander

[AL Mitterling]

Hi Doug and all,

So far his techniques have been unsuccessful on finding the Plymouth 
main mass but he did get quite a bit of newspaper publicity for it. He 
was here in a flash and gone in a flash. I personally don't like to get 
areas where meteorites have been found too worked up as it makes it 
harder to hunt in those areas after so much unnecessary hype.

My understanding is he has hunted in Ohio also where he is probably 
from, as people in that area have commented to me on him. I have yet to 
meet Rick face to face. I think he has done some shipwreck treasure 
hunting and don't know about his success in that field.
