Hello List

I Propose a Tucson Meteorite Hunt around the time of the Tucson show, =
It's one of the Greatest American Meteorite, the Tucson Ring, with a =
missing strewn field?
I hunted last year before the Meteorite Birthday Boy's party, My Friend =
and I had a great time walking around the desert.

I don't believe only 2 large pieces are all there is, 1,513 and 633 =
pounds, I do believe it's a very old fall, Mid to Late Pleistocene Fall.

The original finder a Blacksmith who used it as a anvil, told others it =
was native iron from a canyon called Puerto de los Muchachos in the =
Santa Rita Mountains.
I believe he hunting for Hematite for making raw iron and came upon it. =
There's hematite in a only few of the washes around the west side Santa =
Rita Mountains.
I believe it can be found on the bottom of washes or eroding from the =
side of Pleistocene deposit. Not on or near the surface or on the top's =
of the mesa's.
There one Big catch, Most of the land is state land, If you find it on =
state land, you must let it be, you can notify ASU, They can recover it, =
Maybe cut you in on a piece.
Anyway its a nice day in the desert, only 1/2 hour from the Tucson Show =
and civilization.
Anyone interested.
Thanks and my Best to all.
