[meteorite-list] Oman

[Michael Farmer]

John, and all,
I spent thousands of dollars and two weeks to scout out Oman and learn the 
ropes, just to figure out the rules and how to do it.
Let anyone who wants to go there to find out for themselves, at their own 
expense. I am not giving a map and instructions on how to find the treasure. 
I am a dealer, I make my living doing this. You would be surprised how many 
people ask me how to do it! If I give you the answers you want, perhaps it 
makes 20 more people want to go there without and risks.
If you want to know how to hunt in Oman, take the risks, and figure it out 
for  yourselves.
Mike Farmer
