Best Depth PI Machine for meteorite hunting?

[PIMD2014]

Since there are so many different makers, brands, and people who hunt. I was just curious if anyone would want to share their top PI machines to search for iron meteorites? Lets say 3ft to 18ft deep?

LOL! You can forget 18' deep right now. We use Minelab SD and GPX machines in Arizona. Depending on the size and type of the meteorite, you can get 40" or so.

What about the machines that go deep with giant coils? I want to look for giant large sized iron? Maybe scan 10-15 feet deep. Is that possible?

Using a towed coil is only possible in certain situations like flat desert lakebeds and plowed farm fields. There are very few strewnfields that fit those descriptions in the United States. You can build a large coil, but the odds of finding something large enough to hit at 15-feet is pretty slim. Try contacting Geoff Notkin (520) 742 3333 to see if he can sell you plans or gear.

Well I found the pi machine the meteorite men used on the discovery channel. I have also found a few other machines that seem like they are the same type. The only difference is the exact one i wanted was over 5K!... Anyone know of any good PI machines that are affordable? Please any takers? Pulse induction machines that go in the same depth range of 5-6 meters?

Join the club ... You didn't think it was a couple of hundy ?

The top PI machine as Terry Soloman already pointed out would be a Minelab SD, GP or GPX. I can't imagine anything handheld finding an 18' deep target, though.

I'm an avid meteorite hunter in Arizona Nevada, and California. Almost 99% of the time I use my Minelab GPX5000. Your chances of finding irons are very slim. Chondrites are what you will find most of the time. I hunt iron alley in Franconia, AZ. strewnfield, and they blast my ears off. To find meteorites now adays, you need to put a lot of time in the field.
