1515Art Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 OK experts what ye say, I think a couple of these might be good, detecting out at gold basin no gold this trip but these got a pocket ride home they all hit on the 7000 and are magnetic I cut rough Windows with a right angle grinder no polishing or chemical treatment to the surface. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunk Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 All of your window photos are out of focus. The Gold Basin meteorite is an ordinary chondrite, so if you see any bright, silvery flecks of nickel-iron metal in your windows, you've got the real deal.

1515Art Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Thanks Lunk, the tiny one for sure and I’ll try and take better pictures of the others and make the Windows I cut a little better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Think about finding a rock with some rust on it. The outside of Lunk's meteorite is kinda rusty. Here is a link to one of Fred's hunts. As you can see none of the rocks are as dark as yours. My last Gold Basin trip I found one little meteorite in the 'gold area' but when I went to the 'meteorite area' I looked for a couple of hours and struck out. When we get past the restrictions I'll stop by and show you some that I've found or meet up with you in the basin. Mitchel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1515Art Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Mitchel, that would be great when all this craziness ends, I think one... the smallest now even tinier from all the grinding I think is good a start anyway, the others hot rocks on closer inspection your eye is well trained. Fred, lunk slightly better pictures but my eye phone camera’s not working like it should last year I dropped it and broke the camera, apple replaced it but before the macro was amazing now for some reason the macro won’t work, thanks for the help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
