mn90403 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 On Thursday November 14 I found this 73.9 g meteorite which is my largest find from there. The size is really not that 'great' but the fact it has a smooth surface makes it a bit special.I have taken the dust off in water and with a soft toothbrush. I'm told that is the only thing you do to them if that much. Should I do more?Mitchel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfarris Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Excellent Mitchel...what do you mean not "great"?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Karl,I have seen many others larger and about the same size but I think that the more unique thing about this one is the larger smooth surface.I'm certainly very pleased with the size also.Mitchel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Sweet find, Mitchel! The large smooth surface you refer to, is that what's shown in the last picture (3 of 3)? Looks like old fusion crust to me, way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobileHolmes Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 You have a very nice find. Keep up the hunt.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saginaw72 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Nice find Mitchel.The only other thing you might want to do is window it. Karl windowed his Franconia and the iron is clearly visible.Congratulations!Saginaw Edited November 17, 2013 by saginaw72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaimi Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Aloha Mitchel,Nice find and it looks like it is part of a fragment so there just may be more pieces in the area to match this one. I would grid the area starting at a 50' square and work may way out from there. Good luck and remember to go "low and slooooooow" for the remainding pieces.Aloha and stay safe,Stan aka Kaimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Very nice, Mitchel....I would not clean it anymore; I would pick a broken surface and polish it to look like that pendant you have.fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
