[meteorite-list] finding meteorites

[Bob Evans]

Hello James,

If you want to see a enormous amount of meteorite and related photos go to 
Google and type in meteorite , then click on Google images. There are 
currently 29,000 images to have a look at. Some incredible photos that would 
be almost impossible to locate with other methods.

I just did a quick search and finally seen a awesome photo of the oriented 
Lafayette meteorite.
Heres the link for that one:

Have fun !
Bob E.
