1515Art Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 My son had his first official hunt today on some private property in New Mexico. He was looking for old coins with the whites sst I gave him earlier this year, no coins but he dug this 9 1/2 ounce possible meteorite about 10 inches down. My son said a two pound confirmed meteorite was found very nearby fairly recently that looks exactly the same. My son said the detector just screamed when the coil went over it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1515Art Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 This is the confirmed rio rancho meteorite found in the same area a few years ago, by the kid hunting with a metal detector his grandfather made him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1515Art Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 He planning on taking it to the university of New Mexico same place that did the other one the kid found. l sure hope its real for him cause he's totally hooked now on detecting and will be out hunting again tomorrow, he likes just finding stuff and this would be a pretty good start.
