  • Hi Chris and thanks for watching my video! The rock you are referring to is actaully a big piece of basalt, with the holes in it. Basalt covers Franconia and is really a bothersom when detecting, but a keen eye is usually better than a detector in most instances. Thanks again, Jason.

  • Guitar2424- The Sikhote Alin was one of the first meteorites I collected and my collection has grown since that day. Thanks for viewing. Jason

  • Thanks for the vid.

    Question for ya...

    Any tips on selecting a detector for rock hounding?

  • WEC,the Net has a vast resource on the many types of detectors for the various types of hunting. If your looking for meteorites, some of the older machines, Whites Goldmaster II/III, VSAT, the new GMT, also the Goldbug's work well too. It really depends on what else you want to do with it. I have a gold machine that works for gold and the by-product meteorites. Hope this helps. Jason

  • Kel, thanks for the reply!! It was fun and I had a great time shooting the video. Jason

  • Wow, very cool! I have not found one yet, but hope to make a trip to Franconia next month. Thanks for sharing...jim

  • Just spinning my wheels here. But I have rocks like that all over the ground where I live on BLM land and none of them are meteors, they just have iron ore in them magnetized by the sun. you may want o get the rocks you got looked at.

  • Do you need permission to look for stuff on BLM land?

  • Hey, how come there is so many meterorites there?

  • hi, I'm just starting to hunt meteor. i watched your vid , and if i had been there i'd have wanted to look more closely at the rock that was in the upper left of screen about 8 inches to the left of your second find, at about 8 minutes and 7 seconds into your film. it caught my eye...the long pointed possable tear drop profile and what looked like deep thumb prints or craters...???? ...I dont have a detector, i hunt by eye and hand magnet...thankyou for your documentory, chris
