moondog Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Saw an advertisement the other day for new Meteorite Men on Tuesday Nov 2 at 9 pm on the Science Channel. For my recent fun, skipped out on work for a few hours on Sunday a week ago. Went to El Dorado dry lake, got hailed on good, the vehicle only 40 ft on the dry lake - almost got stuck in the mud -- I was just stuck awhile ago in the summer (should have seen my face - you probably could'a heard me cussing anywhere in the western US). Anyways no meteorites just bullets and BBs, but a wonderful cloud show. A Good Time, Clifton http://meteoritemen.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regmaglitch Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hi Clifton, Sounds like it got a little "humid" at El Dorado. Were you able to hunt the periphery of the lake at all? Get any pics? I know it's messed up getting stuck and all. Still a gas to get out and hunt anyway. There's always "the next hunt". Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Ya Ben I got about 4 hours in, on the East side of the highway. The light dizzle was OK but, the lightning strikes were making me pretty nervious. I could hear the electric EM pulse on the headphones of the detector and was counting the seconds to the thunder. I was thinking how the newspaper account was going to read dum guy killed by lightning, tallest object in 20 square miles carrying a metal rod (metal detector). But it was fine, had fun till the rain chased me out in the end. There is a pic below looking South West from the East side of the highway.

moondog Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hey Ben, I though I'd include a pic from getting stuck in the mud eariler this year, it was April. I was going about 20 mph. The mud was crusted over at the begining, it looked like a patch of sand near some low brush, then too late. My Daughter is using the cellphone to call for help. Actually got a good deal of hunt'n in waiting for help to arrive, but no finds. Clifton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
