Nice find, at first I thought it was a charcoal briquette!

Hello Met List and Meteor Observers,

I spent last week in Coloma CA searching for meteorites. After 5 days
of heavy hunting we finally made a find on our last day.

Here are some pics:

The moments leading up to and after the find were magical -- a random
series of events that ended in a random sort of find. The randomness
of meteors and the events that follow them is something I find
fascinating.

Many thanks to Larry Adkins, Keith and Dana Jenkerson, Scott Johnson,
Robert Ward and everyone else I met, hunted with and talked to. It was
very exciting and I'm happy and thankful to have had the opportunity
to take part in this recovery effort.

Best of luck to those still in the field.

Thanks,

Mike Hankey
