Uncle Ron Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Got a small iron from Franconia about 8 years ago ... Dodacious and I had a great party weekend in Havasu then went to F. for a few hours hunt under cloudy skys ...Had to walk around a mile long (in both directions) train... I should go back since it's only 2 hours away and I have a map showing the strewnfield there ... great general area for both meteorites AND gold! ...

Mikestang Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Nice iron, way to go. I went looking for my first Franconia iron, but all I found was a 68g chondrite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
