[meteorite-list] I have a problem with some rusting meteorites

[Richard Montgomery]

Hi List.  Mike Miller addressed my larger Dronino slice with fabulous 
success...I recommend contacting him for his techniques, or better yet, 
asking for him to help.  His work is tops (so is your meteorite finding 
success, Mike!)
