Dearest Dave,
I can't believe you used the words: Nantan, ugly meteorites, Holbrook,
and antelope pellets all in the same sentence.  Holbrook ugly???
Desert-goat droppings???  I've prepared a special webpage just for you.

Dearest Udder Dave and List;
O-o-o-o-h-h-h-h,  H-o-l-b-r-o-o-k!   D-o-h-n-u-t!   H-o-l-b-r-o-o-k!

Well, the picture of the pile of  "Ultra weathered ones that have real crust" 
 still reminds me of non magnetic items deposited by ruminid mammals, 
lest you have trained sheepses to eat iron filings...nice crust...err... surface desiccation.

Anyone who hasn't looked over the pictures yet, should.   They are very nicely done.

Dave and List,
The finds at Holbrook are not antelope pellets. They are bunny "pellets" 

which, according to John Blennert, are not rated by their looks, but at 
classified according to taste.  Evidently, this was a technique perfected 
by some of the meteorite hunters from Tucson when they had trouble telling 
the difference between actual meteorites and the bunny droppings. JB calls 
simply refers to it as his "taste test" and I've heard it is very accurate.

Regards,

John Gwilliam

Hi List!

A few years ago my daughters were hunting with Jim, Alan Gayda 
and myself. After a couple of hours we went back to camp.  My youngest
 daughter and I were sitting in my van and she wanted to show me
all her neat finds.  As she started to unload her bulging pockets she said.

"Daddy, look at all the neat little round rocks I found!"

I said "Lauren... those are rocks... that's rabbit poop!"

I next heard a horrible "YEWWWWW!" and you never saw a little lady empty
her pockets so fast in all your life... (One of Dad's treasured moments!)

Jim, Alan and I cracked up for quite a while. She must have cleaned up 2
square miles of desert that day!

Still brings an ear to ear grin to my face.

Paul
