Well tonight was my first beach hunt. Actually my first real hunt outside of my backyard. I went to a beach which I now come to know as an extremely trashy beach. Infact, All I found was rusty scrap metal and cans, surprisingly not 1 pulltab! But a lot of strong signal rusty scrap metal :icon_scratch: But then I found something, it made a strong signal, but so did the scrap. So I dug it, like I dug everything else, and out pops, what I believe to be a meteorite 8) I should mention that I used a tesoro cibola and it works great. Just wish it had target ID and depth :'( . After cleaning the rock, I took note of its, in a way, unique form. It does not appear to have smoothed out much. Some, but not much. Its is black and shimmery, and some lights rust colors aswell. The unique thing, is that it appears that on one side its black and shimmery(I assume from nickel), no rust color, and the other side has no shimmer and looks like it has rust color, but very light.(I assume Iron) Here are the pics, tell me what ya'll think. :thumbsup:
