Hi Dave and List,

> Brad Sampson had the main mass last recorded.

Brad Sampson and I jointly purchased Lost Creek from the finder's
family a few years ago. Brad had the main mass at that time, but
I believe he cut most (if not all) of his portion up for sales and
university trades. If so, and none of those cut pieces exceeds a
kilo, I very likely have the main mass (~900 grams). --Rob
