[meteorite-list] AD - Another New Meteorite

I've always found it funny that some sellers describe specimens of an older meteorite as "fresh".  

For example:  I recently saw a seller describe his Campo del Cielo specimens on ebay as "fresh".  I wondered, just how fresh would you consider food you found in the jungles of Argentina that has been sitting around since atleast the the later part of the 16th century?  ;-)
