still doesent make sense there cant be that many metal objects out there. and a detectore would allow you to check under the surface

What I ment to say was that metal detectors don't work well on a dry lake bed - hard to balance- plus the meteorites there have very low metal. Then there is the problem that the meteorites are spread out over 25 square miles. It would be impossible to metal detect the entire area. It's much smarter to ride around on a quad and visually find meteorites....

Metal detectors work very well in other areas where the meteorites contain more metal and are less sparse.

how mcuh is that litle bit of rock worth???

Red lake meteorite have sold for around $10 per gram. That one was only 8 grams, so about $80 for that one.

Hi,

Those two area's are pretty meteorite unfriendly because of the terrain and weather. I'm sure meteorite's have landed there, but unless they are found faily soon they will be covered over or broken down by the elements.

The best palce to find meteorites is space ^^ or moon :)

wheres part 2?

[mnpd007]

Very informative! Thanks. I have magnet which would be perfect for a meteorite cane... it comes from a generator on a C-130 aircraft. This thing will pull the iron out of your blood and cause a bruise if you get too close.

Incidentally, you look like a suicide Jihadist. LOL I would tell you not to try and board a plane in that getup, then realized that the TSA can't profile anyone. So, you'd receive no more scrutiny than granny in a wheelchair.

who exactly do you sell them to and any idea where to fins them in the uk and also (sorry for all the questions lol) but what is the best type of detector to use thanks :)

[badnewswade]

It must be great to have all that science lying around!

At least where I live, I can also look for arrowheads at the same time. That's where I get my legs out there and stay young being the fool on the hill.

Seems like if you build a coil and shaft like on a detector but glue magnets on the bottom for a larger area magnetic field to use when hunting that you would maybe find more or at least cover more ground.

I live in NY with all wet lake beds!! Excellent video and congratulations on your find!

Greetings from a fellow Kingman (AZ) Desert Rat!

Being the summer outdoors person you are, I can't believe you haven't discovered the benifits of a Camelbak hydration pack......you really should get one. If you're like me when I bought my first one, you'll be amazed at how great they are for hiking and quad running.

Be safe out there and stay hydrated!
