[meteorite-list] Grayton [was: I (Heart) Lovina]

[bernd.pauli at paulinet.de]

Hello List,

"There is also Grayton, from Florida, which was dis-
covered ' near Grayton Beach' by Hal Povenmire."

Even though that's what the Met.Bull. says, it was actually found
by two treasure hunters searching for Spanish armor at an ancient
Indian midden. They then sent a sample to Harold Povenmire!

More information on David Weir's excellent website and / or in
Sky & Telescope:

Best wishes,

Bernd
