Paseclipse Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I was out dry lake bed hunting over the weekend and I scored this little guy- In-situ First side Second side.. looks like it has small lip Some fusion crust on the top It weighed in at a whopping 850mg! Hunting space rocks is so fun no matter how small! Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (N.M.) Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Man thats a whopper!!! Just messing with you. The small ones are just as awesome as the big ones are!! I think I have found smaller ones!! They are sitting right next to the big ones in my collection. Way to go! Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockbiter Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Looks like a great little meteorite to me. Most of my little suspect stones put together would fit inside that one with room left over. So in comparison, your find is a giant. Congrats on the find. Mike in CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paseclipse Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah I've found way smaller ones too out detecting, however a find is a find and thats all that matters. Now when it comes to getting skunked, I guess I'm a little bit more willing to accept it when it comes to dry lake bed hunting since the meteorites are more elusive and I still have a lot to learn. :shrug: Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnno Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 G'Day Del Nice one mate. I'm yet to hit a dry lake, even though they're not far away. I need to get off my butt and make an effort :wink2: Cheers Johnno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldmanmike Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Nice find there Del, When you can find them that small on a dry lake bed your doing GREAT! The pics of it look good and in person its the real deal(nice find). As far has a lot to learn ,dont let that discourage you, I still have a lot to learn. I dont think you ever stop learning.
