PS: Who is just back from inundated South-Romania with the pockets full of
samples of the new fall.
No, just a joke. Bad terrain, mountains up to 1500m, forest.. I guess, the
probability, that it will be found is very low.

Betreff: [meteorite-list] Treasure 

I'm referring to the pits that you are digging, not indices of impact force
that scar the earth, such as craters. I am not calling meteorites relics -
it is the presentation of meteorite hunting by this particular program
as tantamount to treasure (cultural "relic" ) hunting with impunity.  This
relic hunting is being promoted by your show. The impact is great: it costs
us all our cultural heritage. Meteorite hunting is not the problem. How many
times must I repeat this? It is the attitude that is the problem. You do
realize that no matter when the fall happened, Brenham meteorites were
either observed by humans, a threat to life in the strewn field (with
obvious ecological implications), or buried beneath sediments possibly
containing traces of events too small for your slobbering regard. EBay: you
said it all. You'd sell human remains to the highest bidder if it were legal
