Meteorite Detectors?

As mentioned above a good top of the line gold machine is what most meteorite hunters use in their quest to collect these cosmic visitors we call meteorites. However, one must not overlook the hundreds of hours that they put into learning the subtleties of their particular machine. Every metal detector is different and has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, the pros never rely on just the squeal of a metal detector to know if they found a meteorite.

Visual meteorite I.D. in the field is the key. This is because even the best metal detectors in the world will only tell you if the rock in question has enough mineralization to set it off. There is no such thing as a meteorite detector. To make matters worse there is a large percentage of worthless earth rocks that will make a metal detector sound off. This type of rock is known as a “hot rock”. Therefore one can see how using only a metal detector to find a meteorite among a sea of hot rocks can be an impossible task.
