Well, another day has passed and for the second time, I got skunked. 
However, the rest of my friends did quite well. Robert Ward found one of the largest stones of the West fall yet. You likely saw todays pic of the day by Michael Johnson. Thanks Michael, for letting me send Iphone photos from the dirt to computers around the world in seconds.

More hunters are showing up, and I am trying to get everyone who comes a stone. Call or meet me and I will show where all the stones are being found. It seems that there are others here who do not want to let anyone hunt with them, and that is not my style. We were nice enough to even announce that the meteorite had been discovered as Doug and Dima had no plans to do so per the landowner's wishes. We felt that more boots on the ground would lead to many stones recovered, we were correct. No problems with our team, we will hook you up. In fact, I will likely post a google earth map of all 60 or 70 stones I have mapped. I plan to coordinate with over 10 hunters and have already done so, but the map is a couple days behind as we are all very tired each night. 
Of course, we will not be able to include the other team's information as they are bound by secrecy laws and contracts not to speak about their finds. 

anyone needing information on the ground can get with me.
Michael Farmer
