However, any detector with an all-metal mode and a ground balance control will work. Also a good magnet on a pole or walking cane is good. https://www.detectorprospector.com/magazine/steves-guides/steve-guide-gold-nugget-detectors/ Good luck!

Bedrock Bob Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The best detector for meteorites is your eye and a magnet. Many meteorites don't have enough metal in them to sound off on a detector. Those that do will sound off on almost any detector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're lóoking for a new strewn field or single falls, a magnet on a stick and a pair of sharp eyes will suffice. If you want to hunt an old strewn field, any metal detector used for gold would suffice...but some are better than others.

Mikestang Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Gold Bug 2 is a staple among meteorite hunters, but as has been mentioned, your eyes are the best detector, and a magnet is the best discriminator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
