The Scorpion "BEEPED" Nicely On A Meteorite Tonite

I went and picked up some meteorite fragments today. Some meteorites are worth a lot more then platinum and are well sought after. The best type of detector for hunting meteorites has always been a gold metal detector. A lot of the other ones simply won't pick them up. The ACE would only pick up a large piece with the sniper coil at about 1/2". The GTI 1500 zero discrimination/standard imaging coil wouldn't pick it up and the GTI 2500 would barely pick it up in true all metal mode/standard imaging coil. but the Garrett Scorpion Gold Stinger gave a nice loud, clear signal 4-5 inches with the standard 5" x 10" DD coil.

So, the Garrett Scorpion Gold Stinger is a gold finder, a coin finder and a meteorite finder too!

Did you know that one of the best places to find meteorites is in a farmers rock pile? He put in all that work gathering those rocks to one central location, and he just might have a nice meteorite sitting in there.
