[meteorite-list] June Nevada Trip Questions

[Raremeteorites]

An expert geologist and List Member corrected me.  I called a horizontal 
mine a "shaft" when it should be called an "adit."

"In mining terminology, shafts are vertical, adits are horizontal"

You are never too old to learn.   I am more interested in placer gold than 
hard rock mining.  Gold prospecting is what got me into meteorites when I 
found a metal-bearing and magnetic rock while searching for gold in the 
Cascade Mountains decades ago.  It turned out not to be a meteorite but I 
was able to name the rock type which I call "Teananite" after the Teanaway 
river where I found it.  Meteorite fever set in soon after.

I have been a treasure hunter since 1975 when my father purchased a Whites 
metal detector so all forms of treasure hunting appeal to me.

Happy Hunting,
