Hi Guys,
I just know that the acres of farm fields I have access to has meteorites just waiting for a meteorite detector/detectress, and an able-bodied shoveler/shoveltress and I would love to put together plans to be that such person someday. I'm not sure I'm ever going to be a 10' hole-digger but I can aspire to 3' for a nice prize found in my very own strewnfield (yes, I'll find one). After I find a strewnfield then I'll consider 10' but only with digging equipment.
Does Whites still put out such a detector? (I could look on their website but don't know exactly what to look for.) Does your neighbor get used model$? How about display model$? We have to consider light weight if that is a possiblity. I know I'm getting way ahead of myself but I want to be ready!
As it happens, Arizona Keith is the same person I was discussing GPR with and have been leaving him to recuperate quietly. I have trouble recuperating quietly...can you tell? No jokes please ;) (...unless they're really funny)
No snow here in SE Michigan (right now), Maria

Dear Maria;
My neighbor is a white's detector salesman and a few years back he went to Odessa and hunted the field briefly in the 99 degree heat. His guide was none other than James Williams, Rocks from Space page 136.
Ron used the top of the line two piece deep penetrating unit White's had out at the time. The plan was to search 3-10 feet deep for items that the regular detector crowd had missed. Between the heat and the pipelines in the area The deep seeking unit did not produce any meteorites in the four hours of searching. Ron did find some real nice odessa's in Mr. Williams collection though. Ron felt with a better weather condition that he would have done much better but noted that Odessa is an old oil boom town and there is a great deal of metal around. Digging 10 foot holes for pipe thread protectors would not be productive so maybe the area would have to be a bit more primitive to have the deep penetrating radar be more successful.
No snow in my part of the rockies,
Dave F

Maria,
One of our list members, Keith Vazquez, has been using GPR for many years and has used it to try and locate meteorites. Keith is currently recovering from some surgery and might be off his oats for a while but I'm sure he'd be happy to post some info and stories to the list.
Best, John Gwilliam

I have lightly discussed with another listmember about using GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar). Perhaps someone could offer some info on how beneficial that is in the field.
Kind Regards, Maria
