Hi Eric, Don't want to mislead you. I am no expert.. and only recently began using a detector for meteorites. I used to have a Whites that I used for coin and relic shooting, but I didn't like the weight and handling qualities. You'll find that middle of the line (less than $1,000) detectors ma

Hi Andre, Not sure about the DFX. Never used it. The GMT is good, I've heard many good reviews from meteorite hunters saying it's a great detector. Also the Fisher Gold Bug, and Gold Bug 2 and White's VSAT. These are detectors I've found meteorites with.. They work well. Eric On 10/24/2010

Hello, is this a good detector for meteorite hunting? Any other good alternative? I already use a Whites goldmaster gmt but would like to get a better one with bigger coil. The cost to replace the GMT lead me to think in another detector. Thanks Andre

Hello Jeff, we tried this time more to explain, what these stones are and not so the terminology, because to some list-members it seemed unclear, what these metachondrites/PACs/7ers are and how they formed. How they shall be called, we leave to each one individually (cause it doesn't change the s

Here is the opposing view: The definition of type 6 chondrites comes from one of the classic papers in meteoritics, Van Schmus and Wood (1967): "As mentioned above, type 6 contains the most recrystallized chondrites. These chondrites show extensive-to-complete obliteration of the primary text
