Jim Kriegh / Gold Basin Meteorite Tribute
For all of you that never had the pleasure of meeting Jim, this video will help you understand what all the hoopla was about.
November 25, 2007 will mark the 12 year anniversary of the discovery of the Gold Basin Strewn Field.
When Jim Kriegh, the finder of the very first Gold Basin Meteorite passed away, we lost a wonderful
friend, mentor and an amazing meteorite hunter.
I personally owe a huge debt of gratitude to Jim, since without his help in the spring of 1998, I may
never have found my first meteorite.
So, we thought it fitting to offer a tribute to Jim as well has his Gold Basin Hunting partners John Blennert and Twink Monrad.
The following is an interview that was originally filmed By John Gwilliam in Feb, 2003 at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show. This interview covers the Gold Basin Meteorite's humble beginnings all the way to present day.
