[meteorite-list] Prices for SouthWest Dry Lake Finds???

[Raremeteorites]

One more thing I forgot to add.  If a BLM agent in the field asks, "How much 
are they worth?."  The proper response would be, "The scientific value is 
variable but they carry no commercial value whatsoever."  You may think this 
is an odd thing for me to state but on more than one occasion, our hunting 
groups have been asked this very question when we stated we were looking for 
meteorites.  An agent in Pahrump went as far as separating our group and 
asking hunters individually hopefully trying to trap somebody in to 
admitting that they have or would be sold.

It is a trick to get you to say, they are worth so much a gram.  The very 
next question would be, "How do you know this, have you sold any?"  Keep in 
mind how artifact collectors are now being treated.  If they cannot prove 
provenance, entire collections have been confiscated recently.  In other 
words, the prevailing BLM wisdom is that you are, guilty until proven 
innocent.  Meteorites are now being treated as artifacts according to field 
agents even though most carry no cultural significance whatsoever.
