Depending on the size, $25K seems pretty cheap…

I’ve seen this story. It doesn’t end well for the finder.

Some of my meteorite hunting buds are already on the scene. $25k for a 1 kilo chunk of the meteorite may be undervalued, depending on circumstances.

Seeing floridamanjefe’s underpants?

JK. That part of the state this time of year would be a bit rough going. We call this “mud season,” probably a little early for the 'skeeters, but I imagine the ticks are back out in full force.

@MadLibrarian - I hope you’ll keep us posted if one of your acquaintances ends up finding anything!
