Dutch John, did you get a chance to stop by any dry lakes? Did you find anything? I wonder if anyone's searched the big dry lake bed in Baker, CA? I was planning a dry lake hunting expedition this weekend, but it just rained again.... must be global warming. Landon, let me know when you go. Would you be interested in carpooling? I'm heading up to Northeastern Nevada to hunt for the Nov. 2009 Utah Fireball in two weeks. Everyone says it landed in Dugway proving grounds, but my calculations say part of it didn't. I can't wait to be the first person to find a piece of that fall... or just another dreamer wondering the desert.

Had good time at the Gold Show. Sorry I didn't return to this topic before going, I would have liked to meet everyone. I was suprised to see how crowded it was on Saturday. A few booths even had meteorite stuff. Did anyone else see the first public showing of the brand new Whites TDI-2 and the TDI-Pro? The TDI-2 is a stripped down version of the original TDI, which Whites is discontinuing. The TDI-Pro has two extra ground balancing knobs, coarse and fine, similar to the GoldMaster3. The TDI-2 will retail for $1,599 and the TDI-Pro will retail for $1,799. I even got to meet Tom Massie too!!!

Yes, I did go to Eldorado Valley Dry Lake bed near Boulder City about a month ago. It was only about 1/4 accessible due to water from the recent rains. As I found out, EDVDLB is very popular with off roaders and there is a lot of trash all over. No meteorites were found on that trip. As soon as the weather warms, I will be heading to some of the more remote dry lake beds to the north of Las Vegas.

I will be attending on Saturday 4/17. I'll be waiting in line to get my picture with Tom Massie!!! LOL
