[QUOTE="Chiron52, post: 511374, member: 10176"] Good read Grubstake. An important bit that piqued my interest was - "Dr Mills said [b]one of the reasons important meteorites had been found in Central Victoria was because there were so many prospectors looking for gold[/b]. Both the Wedderburn and Maryborough meteorites were found by prospectors using metal detectors. John Gladdis, a gold prospector originally from Maryborough, has found at least two meteorites while prospecting." Makes you wonder how many meteorites are out there waiting to be found, in areas of Oz where people are not detecting? [/QUOTE]
