[meteorite-list] The controversy about 'Allah's Tear' (the Altay Meteorite)

[Adam Hupe]

Sounds like the Chinese version of the U.S. Old Woman find.  Government takes possession of it because they can and then it is all over for the finders.  Offer them a tiny reward for a major find, let them decline and then give them nothing but grief.  In other words, make up the laws as you go without the citizens input.

History has a way of repeating itself.

I wonder what kind of reward the Smithsonian will offer for the first American Lunar find when they take possession of it, perhaps $100.00, a cup of coffee and a sausage?

Happy and Productive Hunting,

Adam
