November 24th, 1995, is the date that the Gold Basin strewnfield was discovered by Jim Kriegh when he was hunting for gold with John Blennert.

Recently Richard Garcia and David Libuszowski hosted a 20th anniversary hunt at Gold Basin and 44 people were there (photos 1 & 2). Most of the hunters had never met Jim Kriegh (photo 3) and wanted to know the story of the discovery and how Jim, John and Twink spent two years in secret mapping the field for the U of A. Twink enjoyed sharing the story of the discovery and told how wonderful it was that the three made so many nice meteorite friends through the years (photo 4).
