In my humble opinion, I would assume that the "Most Successful" meteorite 
hunter would be the person who has "hunted" and "found" the most separate 
individual named or to be named meteorites. I think if a person found 5,000 
meteorites all from the same fall that those, unfortunately, that would only 
count as 1 named meteorite.
The most successful would be whomever has the largest number of different 
meteorites. I'm pretty sure that is what Michael is talking about and I know 
he has found many. I honestly don't know what the tally is between Michael, 
Farmer, Haag, Aziz, and The Labennes or Nininger. Someone out there who is 
really good with figures can do that, Elton? would you like to take this 
one? I know you are very good with details and calculations. Is this a 
contest and will the winner please give away specimens of the largest 
meteorite find they discovered?
