[meteorite-list] Congratulations Todd Parker and Scott and Terri Johnson Too

[Larry Atkins]

Hi Everyone,

I want to give a big congrat's to Todd. He's one heck of a meteorite 
hunter with the true passion that's required to be successful. If it 
were not for his awesome find yesterday  Sonny and I would've have just 
had a lot of exercise, but he made it all worth while with his 
accomplishment. In some way it is just as satisfying for me to be there 
when a find is made as if I found it myself. This is Todd's 6th cold 
find I believe, something very few people in the world will ever 
achieve or experience.

Bravo!

I've recently had the pure pleasure of meeting Scott Johnson and his 
wife Terri. I held their huge ~7 pound find in my own hands and I feel 
privileged to have done so. It's a spectacular specimen that would 
enhance any collection in the world, just incredible!

Congratulations to all of you!

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Hi List, 
 
I would like to congratulate Todd Parker on his new Arizona chondrite 
discovery. I had the pleasure of hunting with Todd Parker and Larry 
Atkins recently in the Arizona desert. While Larry and I were sitting 
on a hill taking a water break with Brix, Larry's phone rang with a 
very excited Todd on the other end. We could see him down below us, so 
we quickly rushed over to see what he had found. We saw a beautiful 
chondrite in situ. Todd was recording his find and preparing to take a 
photograph when Brix ran up and gave the meteorite a sniff and a lick. 
Todd was the first one to see the meteorite and Brix was the first (and 
only) one to lick it! : ) It is a 30-40 gram chondrite with fusion 
crust and visible metal flakes on on the broken end. It looks like 
Lawrence may have another meteorite to classify from Arizona. 
Congratulations Todd!
