    Rigged for Dirt
    PODCAST https://www.riggedfordirt.com/podcast/episode/8f3960f3/ep67-chris-doering-founder-of-land-ops-8821-548-pm

    I met Frank and Ali at Patch Coffee in Lake Forest, California. They host a meet and greet event called "Rigs and Coffee". We had a great time meeting different people with all different types of rigs. 

    The PODCAST was not planned, it was spur of the moment, organic and lots of fun chatting. They broke out the equipment and went at it.

    Research/Adventure Documentary
    "Mysteries of Lucky Nugget"
    A Story about the Old Woman Meteorite

    The long awaited release of the Lucky Nugget documentary is here!

    This story and filming was over a year in the making by the volunteers at Land Ops Adventure Radio Club.

    What’s It about?
    In 1976 two prospectors discovered a national treasure. It was the second largest meteorite to be found in the United States and they named it Lucky Nugget, but their claim and the name would not prevail. It was later officially named Old Woman Meteorite after the mountain range where it was discovered. The two prospectors who found it were searching for the lost arch gold mine. Their search yielded a much greater discovery and yet they received no reward or finders fee.

    What’s so unusual about this discovery?

    There are a handful of mysteries that surround this meteorite discovery which we bring to light in this short 30 minute documentary.

    1.     Why was there no reward issued?

    2.     What were the odds of this discovery?

    3.     How did something so large (6070 pounds) leave no impact crater?

    4.     How did it end up where it was found?

    5.     Why was the documentation so poorly recorded?

    6.     Why was extra fencing installed at the access road?

    Land Ops, amateur radio in the rough!
