Hi, list members: As a newcomer to the list, let me say that I have been impressed with the articles and comments I have read already. I am learning quickly that you members know your stuff, and that some of you might have a shot at becoming stand-up comedians if you ever want to change professions. The repartee and camaraderie are delightful. As I read the articles and follow the links, it strikes me that my only hope of becoming adequately knowledgeable about the significance and importance of meteorites is submersion in the books and exposure to the fields.
Concurrently with cracking the books, I am starting to acquire basic equipment for my first meteorite hunt. With the experience most of you surely have had in using metal detectors, you may have found certain makes to be superior to others. Any recommendations you may have for a quality detector would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would like to try my hand at making a one-meter detector if anyone has instructions and specifications for them, or know who builds them. Finally, I have a fairly good checklist of items needed in the field, but if you have a list that you have used to good advantage, it is likely much better than mine. I promise I will not burden you with repeated calls for help, but your geniality encourages me to make this request. It will better insure a proper start in my retirement to what I expect will be an interesting and worthy avocation. Cordially, Paul G Spears ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
