I could use a little luck like this.

@just-jeepin So how did he know that? I might have kept it because it fell from space, but I probably would have just put it in my garden.

@ttyymmnn Sounds like Facebook was the culprit. People got excited by the photos he posted.

I heard a story about that a few years ago. Someone had a neat rock they were just using as yard decoration and it turned out to be a valuable meteorite.

Is it a good idea to be handling a 'fresh' meteorite with your bare hands?

@ttyymmnn
Hmm makes me think I should go thru my rock garden.

Per the BBC the guy only got around $16000 from the first buyer in the chain. Ouch.

@tripper I wonder if they’re also overhaul a Z3M...

@just-jeepin is quit my job invest in rental properties, and build a rallyx/drift complex. A million bucks is a lot of money up here in the north woods.

@hfv for money, someone definitely will!

@ibrad Probably not. Bet it emits some radiation even after it has cooled.

I have no idea.

I'd take a hole in my roof for that.
