Hi all,
=20
I realize that most of the text books say, it's not worth going out
specifically to look for meteorites, unless it is a known strewn field
or a suspected fall site... but.
=20
I was wondering if anybody has any idea of what the actual likelyhood of
finding anything meteoric in somewhere like England (the UK). I realize
that anything one did find would likely be very weathered, but given the
high average number of falls per square kilometer earth wide isn't
likely that in a field system of a few square miles there should be
something ?
=20
(And I know that our very own Rob Elliot found some in Scotland a while
ago).
=20
Any comments anyone?
=20
Regards,
Mark
