Outside of a working a known strewnfield (and perhaps even there!), metal detectors are a very inefficient means of covering area. You are far better off searching with your eyes. Once you've made a find -- *then* use the metal detector to search the immediate area for other fragments. --Rob ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
