Silver Dog Doug Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Does anyone know from which direction the Gold Basin Meteorite came? Going next week and it would help to know. Only there once, and didn't find one, mabe this time I will have better luck. Thanks. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Doug the theory is that it runs from Piece Ferry Highway across Lake Mead...the Meteorite Men did a show where they were allowed to cross the river and search for the BIG ONES that should have landed at the far end...they didn't find any ( on film)...contact Frank C, I bet he will give you some pointers...Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayray Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Doug, the general consensus is from South to North and covering about 65 sq miles. Pretty much as Fred as stated, and from mountain to mountain East/West. Good luck, Jason. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highbanker58 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Doug If you have access to the Meteorite men shows look at the" Gold Basin" show. It shows what they think the pattern was. If you don't , I have a rough photo of the picture they showed. PM me and I will e-mail it to you. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
