[meteorite-list] Meteorites in pie plates

[Pete Pete]

Greetings, all,

Something I've been curious about: Other than the obvious high contrast of 
small, loose particles falling off meteorites for easy recovery, is there 
any other reason we often see Antarctic meteorites in aluminium pie plates?
