Basaltgooroo Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hey guys, Nate and I hunted Franconia for a few days. Paul Spears joined us for 2 day to get his first meteorite! We then visited Fritz and Twink at Gold Basin for a hunt. We also bumped into Moondog and his friends at Franconia, nice meeting you guys!Here is a link to my photobucket. There you can find photos from our hunt and pictures of my larger Franconias at Moondog's request.http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e145/phxerik/?start=all[Erik] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basaltgooroo Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Nope, we all came up empty except for Twink. She managed to kill the skunk with a small chondrite. =][Erik] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondog Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi Erik, Ya it was good to meet you, Nate and Paul out there. I had met Nate before at Franconia at like 7 am at camp I think December of 2008, anyways a while ago. Congratulations to Paul on his first find! I'm glad you'all had a good hunt. Nice pics! I look forward to seeing Nate's pics. Thank You for posting the link to your pics of your Franconia 500g+ Biggy you got out there earlier. Oh Man that is a absolutely beautiful Franconia meteorite. WOW!!! See Ya , Clifton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twink Monrad Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 It was great to see Nate and Erik at Gold Basin, and I never thought I would be so happy to see such a small complete stone but at that point I was very grateful for any size, and it does have some really interesting bubbly fusion crust that many of them do not have. Thanks for the photos, Erik.Twink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
