Hi all - 
 
I think there is a need for a collection of wisdom
here.  Other topics:

how to cut
treating for rust
how to make thin sections
best metal detectors

Then these would not be repeated every time someone
new came along.

good hunting,
Ed

 I have need for starter info,  for myself and for a

 Where can I get a good 1cm cube?   Need to enhance
 my photos with one,  dont want a plastic one if
 possible.
 What is the exact proceedure one should follow now
 when they find a meteorite,   do they send it
 someplace still?
 Small chunks as well as large or what are the
 guidelines?
 What metal detectors do folks find the easiest to
 modify?The last we built had a large arm that
 swong back and forth over the desert floor,   but
 the actual coil was only about 1ft dia.
 
 So, stuff like that

received differing answers regarding the use VCI pads.

Thanks.
