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

[Michael Farmer]

I do not consider moroccan meteorites huntin or finds unless you think  
piles of meteorites on a house floor is hunting.
I have more than 800 middle eastern meteorites that found in the  
desert myself perhaps 500 kilos all in crates untouched.
Moroccan stud is bought and not found and should be taken out of the  
hunting equasion.
