Cool pictures Martin! I've never seen either of them. I'm especially fond
of my small piece of Noblesville because that's where I asked my wife to
marry me!!!
As for Hamlet, my piece looks kind of weathered as well. I couldn't quite
figure that one out because it was collected so quickly after it fell. I
suppose its possible that another stone could have been found later but I've
not heard anything about it (for whatever that counts). I feel quite safe
in assuming that my piece of Hamlet really is from that stone though as I've
never heard of Russ K. making too many mistakes. ;)
Best wishes,

Hi Dave,

The Nobelsville meteorite is really a nice stone. Well, was anyway. The kids
that found it sold it. Then, of course, it was sliced up like a loaf of
bread. Well actually more like a muffin since it was not very large. Here is
a link to a picture of it as a whole stone.

And here is a link to a pic of the two boys who almost lost their heads to
the cosmic stone:

Regarding your Hamlet, It does not appear much like any Hamlet I have seen,
but rather more like the LL4s coming out of the Sahara et. al.

Any chance there was a mix-up somewhere in the packaging? Or could you piece
of Hamlet have been found years after the fall?

Cheers,

Martin
