[meteorite-list] Larry Atkin's New Website

[Raremeteorites]

Hi Larry and List Members,

Thank you for posting a link to your website  I read through it with 
fascination.  It must have taken you several hundred hours, if not a 
thousand to compile and author this awesome website.  I have been to most of 
the places you have posted here in the southwest yet we have never crossed 
paths in the field.   It proves, once again, that the southwestern US can 
produce high levels of excitement and adventure, practically in your own 
backyard, without ever having to step foot out of the country if you live 
here.

I have not even had the time to post a field trip report on our grueling 
2,200 mile plus, 2 week, September 2016 Team LunarRock hunt here in Nevada. 
I was especially interested in your Battle Mountain trip report since we own 
2,800 plus feet of Trout Creek front passing through one of our properties 
in Lander County, Nevada.  I wonder if meteorite hunters found anything near 
the creek you mention that the trout disappear underground in the Battle 
Mountain area.  I did not find any meteorites in Battle Mountain but found 
other treasure.

Trip:

What every gold prospector loves to see, a black pay streak!  I have been 
watching the GOLD RUSH show too much:

Gold clean out in the kitchen.  I do not have a clean out shack like the 
Hoffman's

Results after four total hours worth of work including clean out:

Maybe I will be able to find some time to do a full report of the September 
Team LunarRock hunt which included some new members and some old ones.  It 
is full of twists and turns with a few of the previous year's mysteries 
solved (curious iron stones and a giant unreachable crystal in a vug).   A 
few new mysteries were added on this years hunt which ended with finding 
real treasure, besides gold, on the last day.

Best Regards,

Adam Hupe
