Second Desert Expedition  |  November 2008
 
I got together with my childhood friend, Mr Sven Coerper, and we met in the Middle East for another desert adventure. This time we flew a lot closer to the area where we wanted to hunt, so there was a lot less driving involved.
The weather was great - sun sun sun! We spent 10 days on the ground, found about 20 specimens, a few kg all in all. We had a blast! I can't wait to go again!!!
Here are some of the highlights...
 


The view from a hill.



The first find - 1.7kg nose cone - beautiful!



Next find on the same day: 2.1kg - gorgeous.



Having some fun. Driving seemed much better this time of year.



A beautifully fresh looking specimen, 265g.



Taking a break - it got pretty hot during the day.



Nelson left behind.



Where are all the meteorites?



There is one. Also very fresh looking, almost shiny, 309g.

We found a beautifully oriented specimen in the middle of the Wadi.



5mm forthy drip edge - 61 g - what a stunning piece.



Time for some R&R at the oasis!

Another beauty - 952g.



We woke up one morning and the fog had rolled in, Eery!



We happened upon some cool rock formations - it was fun climbing around the bouders!
