Discovering Meteorites with Metal Detectors |
|
Updated October 26, 2007
We accept Paypal!
We have in stock a few small meteorite specimens available at low cost for testing or other purposes. They're great to check your detector's response to a known sample of some well-known meteorite types. These specimens are in a very natural state, with the original surface intact. Besides their usefulness as test specimens, they are genuinely interesting and unique objects from space, and would make a great addition to any meteorite or mineral collection. FREE SHIPPING!
Happy Hunting! -Ed Gerken
