Hello all,

Recently, a friend of mine, a German meteorite hunter,
has been asked by a TV team if they could accompany him
on one of his hunting trips for one of their educational
channels. My friend wanted to take them to Oman or Libya,
his favourite hunting grounds, first, but this seems to
be impossible for "legal" reasons.

Is there a possibility to legaly search for meteorites on
US American or Mexican strewnfields, such as Holbrook, Gold
Basin, or Allende? How are the chances to find something
on these strewnfields, let's say within one week (that's
about the time the TV team is willing to spend on such a
trip). Any other suggestions on strewnfields in civilized
countries where meteorite hunting isn't prohibited?

You know, it's not so much about finding something for
resale, but just about finding something for the camera.
If anyone has information that could be of help, please
let me know. I will forward your information to my friend
(who's not on this list).

All the best,
Norbert
