[meteorite-list] noob questions

Hi Ron and List,

I think the best tool in your kit is "lots of determination" as you mentioned. A 
radiating circle is the best way after a find has been established.  This same 
approach works great for establishing American Civil War battlefields and 
camps.  It also works well in locating the main bulk of shipwrecks with items 
strewn about over time. 


A lot of hunters new to searching do not realize how much time is needed.  A 
generous amount of of patience is necessary with sometimes hundreds of hours of 
effort expended between finds.   It is not as easy as an Easter egg hunt as many 
believe. I know someone who hunted for 7 years off and on until he found his 
first cold find. 


I wish you the best of luck and your odds are good with effort.  If one find has 
been made, I calculate an 83% chance that a pairing will be also be found.  The 
odds are much better with a recent fall.
