Meteorite hunting

Where can I find a good book on meteorite hunting with a metal detector?-----I find this topic fascinating & would like to at least learn some more about it.

Order a T2 detector and get a free copy of "Meteorite Men's" book. Call 888-759-7699

Weren't the meteorite Men using f-75's, doc ?

On their website they claim"T2's detector of meteorite men", but they may have also used the 75.

Here are a couple of links

Gold Canyon AZ- where there is no gold

Thanks Gentlemen--very interesting stuff!

Good luck Del! Thats something I am interested in too. Too many interest, not enough time,lol.

All I know is some specimens are worth big bucks.....Many large colleges have courses in such and could tell you what you have found...

Dan-Pa---a little meteorite adventure for you--In 1994 I met a guy,now deceased,at a GPAA gold show in Ga. he was selling ML detectors which I knew little about.So we hit it off and he invited me out to his place,Gold Basin AZ. which you may know is the site of a very large strewn field of L2 chondrite meteorites. At the time no one knew about all those "hot rocks" in Gold Basin being meteorites and I along with maaaany others tossed them aside as hot rocks. The Univ of AZ came out and identified the true nature of these hot rocks--tried to keep it a secret,but of course,drip drip,and the race was on.A friend of mine and his wife collected almost a 100 lbs.of specimens weighing from a 10 grams to 5 lbs. Over the years I found several pounds--gave most of them away to friends,grandkids etc,but I still have a few. I now have a place near GB where we spend several months a year,but the pickings are veeery slim now.Thousands of people on hunting tours have just about picked it clean,but if you hunt hard you can still find a rock or 2 in a week of hard hunting.Utube is loaded with meteorite hunts--good luck in your new adventure,but don't quit your day job.LOL

Guys in the Arctic circle find them laying on top of the ice/snowpack,

they just walk around looking for black colored rocks lying on top of the ice/snow = how convenient/easy is that!?
