[meteorite-list] ** Franconia strewnfield **

[Mike / flattoprocks]

Hi Mike and Pierre, I have hunted the Franconia strewn field many times. I 
live 35 miles from the area, I was also one of the first people who knew a 
strewn field was even there. I would guess that half of Mikes estimate of 
400 kilos would even be high. I can also assure you that it is not an easy 
place to find a meteorite. On the other hand it is not all gone either.If 
you want a piece for your collection you can go there a find one. I agree 
with Mike, it is a nice meteorite.
 Mike you also say the price is about to collapse... Do you see a flood of 
material on the market? I do not, I mean give me a break. It is a very new 
meteorite, of course there is some available for sale. A year from now there 
will be less, just as it should be.
 I for one think an ordinary chondrite from Arizona is more exciting than 
another one of the hundreds from some unknown place in Africa.
