That show really peaked my interest in meteorite hunting. It might be time to buy that book I have seen suggested on this forum "Rocks from space".

"Meteorite Men" on the Discovery Channell. It's a new series. Tonight's first episode was a rerun of a one-off from last year. They're supposedly be having new stuff each week now.

I am certain many folks will be hunting for space rocks now that the secret is out. Those guys are rich!

:laughing7: Yep, when they find out just how much digging is involved and how many "empty" holes they'll be finding; they'll leave the scene like their hair was on fire (and their asses were catching). :sign10: :evil6: :evil6: :evil6:

I'm sure they do it like those fishing shows. Hours and hours of looking and useless digging would be editted out.

I'd sure like to see the specifications on their humongous metal detector; the type of wire the coil is wound with, it's length, the electronics involved, etc.

I'd like to have a smaller version for the beach that I could drag by hand and find the Queen's Dowry Chest....

Cappy, they have one that's 1 meter on a side that they use for pinpointing. They walk around while holding the coil by rope handles. That's the one I was talking about. That's also the one you could use on the beach for your Queen-search. ;D The huge one that's pulled behind their truck is not something I'd be interested in duplicating.

Nobody is an expert when it comes to outer space rocks. However I wish all my TN friends the best of luck when they go hunting for these celestial bodies. I wish I lived near real ground that might prove at least a probability of finding an iron-nickel space traveler. I live here in Atlantis, a fancy name for a giant sand dune pocked with gator infested swamps. Don't get me started on the government.... archaeologists...sheesh..they wouldn't, couldn't make pimple on a real archaeologists arse...

What settings are you running? I also have a GTI2500 however I am not very experienced with it yet and would like some tips for the settings to look for meteorites someday.

Whatcha want to bet that this show will "sell" a lot of F75's for Fisher. After all, it's the DETECTOR, not the research that's finding those rocks. :laughing9: :tongue3: :laughing9:
