Over on a metal detecting forum near you, a "finder" happily informs fellow metal detectorists that he had made what he thought was a significant discovery, a "meteorite" (pugwart - Wed Sep 11, 2013 4:55 pm) - only about 20 are known from England. ("it measure's approx 4" x 4" x 2 1/2"...").
So what do think the reaction was? Congratulations on a new addition to the body of knowledge? Suggestions that it should be donated to scientists to study properly? or something else? The first three consecutive posts -
Christoph1945: "Whoooo!, cash in d bank? What's weigh?"
Fishermansam: "If you can get it 'Authenticated', it'd be worth an absolute fortune"
AdrianP: "Some collectors pay quite a bit for those if the 'Meteorite Men' program is anything to go by"
AdrianP : "No idea where to sell but it looks like prices start at approx $0.50 per Gram....!!! So, at that weight, it you can get it confirmed as a genuine meteorite then it could be worth a few quid"
