Hello,

I can't find the article right now, but I remember reading something in New
Scientist a while back about how the Iron meteorites contain remnants of the
parent body's magnetic field. This would be useful to science but gets
destroyed when meteorite hunters put strong magnets to the specimens to help
identify them.

Greetings Mr. Thomas Kurtz and Arduous Meteorite
Hunters everywhere!


Stupendous! Amazing! Magnificent! Extraordinary!

Please accept my personal congratulations from one
meteorite hunter to another! Of course you probably
know, your team has just made meteoritic history. To
be honest with you, I was tempted to send you a letter
of encouragement, but I suppose that is not necessary
anymore!

If I remember correctly, the report you had linked to
indicated that the specimen found was very magnetic.
With that in mind, I would test your meteorite to see
just how strongly it will attract magnets and
respond to a good metal detector. If the results are
strong, use them to search for others!

Long (and wide) strewn fields, and Godspeed on your
hunting!

Mark Fox
