It was Thanksgiving holiday in the USA Nov. 1995 when Jim Kriegh and John Blennert went to GB to hunt for gold. When Jim started hearing these rocks that sounded like gold but were not gold he wondered if they could be meteorites, took them to Dr. Kring at U of A and the rest is happy history for the 3 of us, as I was invited to help map the field with Jim and John for the U of A. |
