Metal Detecting discussions and finds

You still up for it? Check your PM and send me your contact info- I’ll give you a call.

 

Yup, sent PM

 

So do you think meteors bounced or basically impacted and stuck where they are?

 

It depends on their trajectory into the atmosphere. Most come in at angle conducive to a shallow bury above 2 feet. Most are iron based, therere heavy af and tend not to bounce, but rather hit and dig in.

 

I just wonder if there were any hit the highway and bounced or skipped?

 

Remember, this strewn field is about 4,000 years old, so it probably skipped and bounced off the heads of the last couple of mastodons in the Americas, causing their extinction.

 

Yes but also thought there was a recent one? Thats how they found these? And then figured out it was more and older strikes

 

They usually come in fairly hot and can liquify the area it hits... melting pieces of earth and rock together to form some interesting combinations.

 

my digging pick, and 4' magnet stick tool

 

You’ll have to attach a meteorite you find to it for good luck! I like the holder also. It looks nice! The stick is a perfect length for not bending over. Put a leather wrist strap on it too.

 

Maybe paracord

 

I want to check out the Gold Lady store! Looks like they have lots of cool stuff!

 

I think shes still only open during week

 

That's my luck.
Sounds like you and Hartung are gonna go find some meteorites! Very cool!
I'm planning to swing with a friend that prolly has some experience with meteorites. I'm gonna hit him up with questions...

 

Come on down..

 

Hmmm...

You're going next weekend? Don't know if I can swing that.

 

Its close for me. Still a chance to find stuff

 

I hope you guys do! I've never gone after meteorites. Sounds interesting!
