[meteorite-list] Well, it's official Yelland Dry lake Bed

[wahlperry at aol.com]

Hi List,


I just wanted to share the news that Yelland Dry Lake has been approved 
as the official name for the meteorites I discovered in 2007. This is 
the largest known TKW of chondritic material recovered from one 
meteorite here in Nevada. The TKW is 76 kg's, it is classified as an 
H4. This is the lake bed where the Meteorite Men episode was filmed 
last year. I revisited the lake last month with a couple of friends and 
recovered  several  more pieces.
I have noticed over the past few months that a few list members have 
recovered up to 5 more kilo's from the same lake bed.  Way to go guys, 
keep up the good work! It would be nice to see many people enjoy this 
area as the many that have been able to enjoy Gold Basin ( Thanks to 
Jim, John and Twink).

  I received an email early last year from a certain list member that 
indicated this lake bed was located by Strawberry Point near Eureka 
Nv.,  with  other inaccurate information.  This lake bed is actually 
closer to Ely, Nevada and is in an area that I have spent many years 
exploring. Hopefully someday he will find his own strewn field and will 
be able to share his exciting news with us all.

Anyone wishing to get additional information about the hunting area  
please contact me off list.

Happy Hunting!

Sonny
