[meteorite-list] WHO IS THE BEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL METEORITE HUNTER OUT THERE?

[JoshuaTreeMuseum]

Isn't this a no brainer?  It's Michael Farmer!  If you're talking high 
profile, non Russian, Japanese, Moroccan, Antarctic, European,etc., Mike is 
currently the man to beat at every new fall, with a very few exceptions. 
For better or for worse, Mike is the face of modern American meteorite 
hunting.  I would think this is common knowledge among the uninitiated, non 
cognescenti, teeming masses.  Steve Arnold is a contender, I think he beat 
the pants off Mike at West, but didn't he have a 5 year long drought?  Since 
the torch has been passed from Bob Haag,  I would have to go with the 
populous viewpoint that Mike is currently The Man.  And it's important to 
keep in mind that he's only at mid career with a long way to go, unlike Bob 
who's semi-retired.  Of course I am probably completely wrong, but am only 
trying to answer the question from the viewpoint of non meteorite people.

Couldn't this question be answered objectively simply by ranking the number 
of meteorites each of the contenders has had classified?  It would be 
interesting to see this column of figures.
