Hi Yinan,
Thanks for refreshing my memory on the mining claim that the prospectors
filed on the land. I was in high school and remember reading that they were
not allowed to take the Old Woman meteorite as she sat in between the
boulders on that rocky area because it was "not" a locatable mineral.
That brings back memories and clarifies the reason that it went to the
Smithsonian.
Thanks again,
Brian
