[meteorite-list] West Texas: First Fall Meteorite! 6.7g

[Eric]

Hi all,

After much research, driving, searching, collaborating and with a little 
help from some very cool meteorite hunters and nice landowners, we've 
found our first stone from the newest meteorite fall in the world! There 
are a few firsts here.

First Meteorite Fall Chased
First Meteorite Expedition
First Time Driving 1500 miles (to chase rocks no less...) ;)
Our first meteorite find from fall to find all within 10 days.

I want to thank everyone who has helped us out here, you know who you 
are and we very much appreciate the cordial and helpful nature of 
everyone out here in West. The landowners have been more than gracious 
to let us hunt for meteorites on their land and many are characters and 
now hunt meteorites themselves. ;) We've hunted with a lot of you guys 
here from the list who a fortunate enough to be able to hunt this fall 
and we are truly grateful for your help and advice. Who better to learn 
from than the ones who do it day after day. Thank you!

So without further ado - because I know you guys are itching to see the 
photos- here's my daily West Texas Meteorite Expedition Journal Entry 
and the photos of my first new fall meteorite, all 6.7 grams of it:

In the meantime... The hunt continues...

P.S. We'll be here another 2 days, possible 3. Wish us good and happy 
hunting!
