Come on  Todd!

a little fish?  It's a DREAM for every collector once to find  a meteorite!
A dream, which for the biggest part of European collectors won't  come true.
Due to the climate here in Central Europe meteorites decay  rapidely, we have
no suitable or arid hunting grounds and the only place with  good chances to
find one is the Morasko strewnfield in Poland.
Otherwise  we always have to wait for new observed falls as for instance
Neuschwanstein,  Moravka or that new one in Spain to get a minimal chance to
find one, hence  all in all it's more probably to hit the lotto jackpot than
to find an own  meteorite here!
(O.k. fortune favours fools, Matteo?)

So run an extra  lap of honour around your finds
and from me an  accretive:

Buckleboo!

Thanks for the congrats, Martin.
Yes, I do feel fortunate to be in this beautiful Arizona desert for that  
reason and many more.
