    Ahhh. I guess it's worth a shot. Since the filming of Meteorite Men, the public is obsessed. Here's a pic of my 2.5g meteorite from the Sikhote fall.

    How long ago was that? Folks.on my meteorite forum say they no longer test the public's samples, too many meteorwrongs. Simply do the streak test. If it passes that, file a window into it looking for the Widmanstatten pattern. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widmanstätten_pattern

    Simple... Turn your toilet lid over and do a long hard scratch on it with suspected space rock. If it leaves a color streak behind of any color, it's not a meteorite. The event over Mesa at 530am you witnessed was actually 26 Feb. https://nuggetshooter.ipbhost.com/ https://www.wdrb.com/weather/wdrb-weather-blog/fireball-a-meteor-streaking-in-the-sky-over-arizona/article_6d4a3a58-5907-11ea-86ae-7f492ad38118.html

    Where Am I? What am I

    Great read, thanks. Interesting about ammo... 60 rounds issued per trooper. I recently purchased a 45'-70 and thought about the weight, carrying the gun, ammo and all the accoutrements a trooper required on horseback. 60 rounds of 45-70 was 6lbs alone! If only she could talk.... 45-70 cartridge beside the 5.56

    Most are native American. But this one has gun portals the ancients would not have built. And it's built where Grief Trail and Crook Trail fork. For example, there are two NA fortifications a short distance apart on the Agua Fria just north of Table Mesa known as South Fort and North Fort.

    147 Years Ago Today

    Yes. There was an annual spring gathering there. I believe many of the Yavapais thought Gen Crooks orders to get thee to a reservation or be considered combatants was an edic meant for Apaches, not them. http://prescottazhistory.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-true-victims-of-bloody-basin-were.html?m=1

    Please tell me an embezzler works at an Adult Novelty store? Nobody in my intimate zone needs any. Although I must admit, I wear out several riding crops and buggy whips each year.

    The Yavapai? They were doing their best to social distance from the cavalry, but...

    dang, your good. Above pics are of the army gun emplacements guarding the Grief Hill army trail from 1865-1870 and later the Crook Trail. The supply wagons from Ft Whipple were unloaded in this area and packed onto mule trains for the trip down to Camp Verde. Was a great spot for the Yavapai or Apaches to ambush so this outpost was built. Much of the wall has collapsed but some small arms portals still exist and mountain Howitzers would have been placed between battlements.

    Problems with this graph, it doesn't tell the entire story, here's why; Starts out in 1930 during the great depression when stock certificates weren't worth the paper they were printed on. Gold has never been worth zero, and at the same time the government controlled and regulated its value. Took 20 years for the stock market to show signs of recovery after '30. Meanwhile gold prices were kept artificially low until 1975. While your stock value.may be going up in price, that same dollar is going down in value. Pretty sure I mentioned monetizing gold...thats drawing interest on your shiny stash. Not sure I'd want to put gold in some institutes vault...I like it close by where I can oogle it. If you're around when the next depression hits, those stock certificates will make great tp but when the plumber comes to unplug your drain, have fat stacks of cash handy...or cross his palms with silver, gold.

    When my grandpa was mining it in 1970 it was $35 dollars an ounce. He put some away...in 1980 it hit $800 per ounce. A 2700% increase. Never say never.
