[meteorite-list] List of known Rusters?

[GREG LINDH]

  Hi Tim,
 
  I live in Prescott Valley, AZ.  That definitely helps in preventing rust, I'm sure.  All I can say is, the Campos, Sikhote-Alins, Canyon Diablos, Muonionalustas, etc. that I've treated with "Rig" look fine.  Those that weren't treated I've given away, except one Campo that I've held onto, just so I can keep track of what happens when one has been treated with the black substance that the dealers put on.  I have to clean the area beneath that Campo just about every week....little chips keep falling off, revealing a rusty interior.
 
  Regards,
 
  Greg L.
