frank c Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Well it had to happen sooner or later, I left home wednesday to setup a highbanker and pump but did'nt feel like it when I arrived at Gold Basin. So I grabbed my best friend Mr. GMT and decieded to walk around instead, GLAD I did I bagged my 1st G.B. Meteorite not that big 8.3 grams but DEFINATELY A "PICKER".

Yep.. I second that Rick! I started out hunting for gold, found a few nuggets (nothing special) then got turned onto meteorite hunting. I still love gold and I occasionally hunt for it... but hey I'm having better luck with meteorites. :shrug: Congrats on your find there Frank!

Now I feel like a part of the Meteorite Forum :twocents: :icon_mrgreen: :innocent0009: Happy Huntn to all Frank, When you brought that by this morning for me to identify and gave me that look..... :scare: I could read your mind.....saying (Please be a meteorite). I thought back to the club meeting and how you set me up to guide an outing. I will admit that I had a bit of a temptation to :smilie_pinoc: toy with you for awhile, but then I did not want to spoil that magic moment when you find out that what you found is actually the real mcCoy. I have seen that look many times and have enjoyed seeing it turn to :woohoo: ....... As I said this morning.........Congratulations on your first space rock. There will be many more to follow.
