[meteorite-list] Sutters Mill - mass and stone count

[Randy Korotev]

For those keeping count...

I was contacted yesterday by a woman who told this story.

====================================
Good morning, Randy. I live in Lotus, CA and have attached a picture 
of a meteorite I found on my driveway on 4/29/12. It has been 
confirmed by a geologist from UNLV, and weighed, per attached photo.

I'm not sure what to do with this. The geologist offered me $2,000 
cash on the spot.

====================================

Here's the photo:

4.26 g

=====================================

I told her that $2000 for a 4-g stone was a good price.

I think that she must have talked to a fake geologist because I don't 
know any real geologists who carry $2000 in their pocket.  She hasn't 
been back in touch with me so I don't know what she's done with the stone.
