[meteorite-list] West Texas Meteorite Hunt - Question

[catoni52 at sympatico.ca]

  Greetings All:
                       Some questions that I have is:

   What kind of deal does one make with the land-owner?
   A split of the finds between land-owner and searcher? By weight?
   A simple payment of so many dollars for permission to search?
   Do you have some sort of document for both to sign?

   In most cases do you get fairly easy permission and the land-owners are 
usually friendly?

   Best wishes to all, and clear skies.
