I finally found them today. Not Az grown but Texas. But they have the look. Round (female, oval are male) with the yellow area with good "scratch marks" (many bees pollinated the blossom).
That's the trick. No sniffing, no thumping. Trust me, I've tossed many a melon because it didn't pass Wifey's QC taste test.
And have the G'kids try it sprinkled with Tajin. That's how the "cool people" eat it!

I usually pick mine by stopping by the field with the wife while the workers are pickin' and tossin', and have her ask (Spanish is her first language, I can order a beer and ask for the bathroom) to either trade a cold 6 pack of beer or $10 for a couple of good melons. And the migrant workers always pick good ones, it is fun watching 3 or 4 guys arguing over 3 or 4 melons as to which two are the best.
