[meteorite-list] New AZ find main mass, AD

[Bill Southern]

Hello List,

As many of you know I made a new chondrite find in January here in Arizona 
and it has been classified as a L5, S1, W3 by Lora Bleacher at ASU. This 
meteorite will be in the next bulletin pending acceptance.

 I have been hunting the area for 6 months now and have found only 840 grams 
or so with the main mass being 465 grams. I was hoping to get into more and 
still may who knows, but I have put in some serious time hunting with some 
help with no more found and a very large area of very rough country has been 
pretty well covered both by eye and metal detecting... All that I have so 
far is from the same specimen and found in a 25 x 50  foot area (or so).

I have decided to sell the main mass (465 grams) to help out the ol' 
household cash flow so I will offer it here to the first one to offer $5.00 
per gram.... I will wait 3 days before I follow other avenues. Here is a 
link to a photo of the specimen next to the second largest (164 g). The 
buyer will also be told the name (proposed) of the new AZ find that I have 
not so far released as I am still hunting the area.

There are several here at the list that can give you a reference if you have 
any questions about me:
