If you are going to bury an iron then be sure to bury it in two sealed
ziplock plastic bags, that way it won't harm it at all. I did this when
I was testing a new magnetometer system, I designed earlier in the year,
the Iron I buried is still rust free.

No need top apologise, I don't think discussing ways of finding
meteorites is off topic (on a meteorite forum), even if that means
discussing some of the more controversial methods. Even though I don't

Beautiful shot of a complex, porphyritic megachondrule.
What makes it so exceptional apart from its size is its
complexity: pyroxene crystals + pyroxene laths/strands.
