[meteorite-list] [IMCA List] Creston new fall prices

[Raremeteorites]

I appreciate the invite but the original Mobile Meteorite Command Center 
lasted one season before being retired six years ago.  It seemed like a good 
idea at the time but real life field conditions proved otherwise.  The 120 
degree temperatures out here in the desert were causing panels to expand and 
contort.  Fiberglass expands at a different rate than plastic and wood so 
components would pull loose or pop off.  Team Lunarrock eventually upgraded 
to an all metal Airstream with stainless steel interior.  We could not keep 
the inside temperature below 90 degrees even with beefed up air-conditioning 
units making it like sleeping in an oven.  Dirt roads and trails are no 
place to be pulling trailers.  I cannot tell you how many shocks and springs 
we broke trying.   The second command center now sits in a member's driveway 
being used as storage.

Finally, we got smart and went with safari type rooftop tents and trailers 
without axles designed to be pulled behind Jeeps.

I will stick to gold for now since it helps pay the bills.  The last 
meteorite hunting trip I went on a few weeks ago didn't produce anything 
other than a military rocket nose fairing packed with electronics which we 
left in situ.   I was afraid to pick it up since I didn't know if contained 
explosives or not but did manage to take some pictures of it.  We also found 
some aircraft flare clips.  It was still worth the six hour drive to get out 
of the house for a weekend and visit with some friends.

Happy Hunting,

Adam

Adam. There is plenty of parking for the mobile meteorite command center. 
The strewnfield is large and endless roads and vineyards. Come on up. It's 
not far from you. Far more money than gold.
I had 20 requests to buy the piece of found today. Sold in seconds. My 
market is pretty good.
