[meteorite-list] Very sad news

[Matson, Rob D. [US-US]]

R.I.P. to John Blennert -- I met him once or possibly twice over the last quarter century, so knew of his considerable prowess hunting gold (via metal detecting) as well as meteorites, on this continent and others. I was not aware (though not surprised) to learn that his expertise also extended to archaeology. Thank you, Bernd, for passing on the sad news of John's passing, and to Bob Verish for sharing links to others' remembrances of him.  --Rob

Hello Bernd,

Indeed, this is very sad news.  Thanks for your post.
It should be noted that not only was John Blennert a legendary Arizona metal-detectorist in regards to gold and meteorites, he made substantial contributions to archeology.  (See links below)  He known worldwide, so it is no surprise that news of his passing came to us here on the Met-List by way of Germany.
