[meteorite-list] Rocks from Space - November 21, 2007

[Jay & Annette]

Moni and list,

The strewn field down at Franconia is bi-sected by Interstate-40 with the 
sides respectively, North and South.  On Nov. 16, 2007, I decided to hunt an 
area that was new to me on the Northside (I have been down to Franconia many 
times, the past two years).  I was using a metal detector as most do; 1.) 
because the area has been worked over hard the past several years and 2.) 
many of the bigger chondrites pieces are buried.  The really big, big pieces 
were picked up during the discovery of the field in 2002.  But for this 
piece, it was on top with half of it buried in the ground.  The chances are 
still very good of finding meteorites down there and with just a meteorite 
cane, but require a lot of walking into areas most don't visit.  A good 
indicator is the lack of the so-called, "Scratch holes" and diggings around 
that particular area.  Happy Hunting and Thanksgiving!!!!
