[meteorite-list] Meteorite hunter: Find near Aquilla nets $10, 000

[JASON PHILLIPS]

Hello List,
"One e-mail came from a man who identified himself as a clergyman from the 
Midwest who didn't want to take the time come down and hunt himself but was 
willing to pay a hefty sum for a meteorite."

I was that clergyman from the midwest (Illinois) and I am glad that I did 
take the time to come down, one week to be exact.  This misinformation must 
have stemmed from the numerous emails I sent out before my arrival to 
prepare things and get to know the locals.  And I was also not willing to 
pay hefty sums for a meteorite.  I did though have a wonderful time and 
enjoyed hunting with all of the wonderful people while I was there and am 
very pleased with the four stones I found.

Thanks to everyone who made this fall/hunt so wonderful,

Jason Phillips

Rocks from Heaven
