Lunk;

have you given the Monster a trial at hunting meteorites?

I don't find it on this forum if you did...

thanks

Yes I have Fred, and it’s an excellent meteorite hunter.

Although I couldn’t mention it at the time, this hunt was with the GM 1000: 

 

And a Franconia hunt here:

I bought the book. Got a great deal on a used copy in great shape on Amazon. (<$10 Shipped).

The book is wayyyy comprehensive, and it will take me many months to even begin to comprehend the info in the book. That being said, it's a great reference, and it's opened up a new avenue of treasure hunting for me. (Though I don't see that there have been many finds in Oklahoma, where we will be for two years while my wife is commanding the Medical Group on Tinker AFB).

Thanks for the info on the book. Definitely one of my better reference book purchases!

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks Lunk for bringing up the subject, found a few at Gold Basin over the last few years.

DAMN IT!  Y'all stop talking about Minelab detectors!! I've already spent plenty of $$ for an EQ 600 and an 800...got rid of my Garrett GTI 2500 with all its coils, and now you rats have got me thinking about the GM 1000! Grrrrr!
Would only cost me $679.15 on Minelab's Military Discount for 2018. Sigh.... What to do? What to do??!! ??

elf;

since you have two years, just wait a while. When I get home I will check my 800 against a Gold basin, Franconia and SBW I found .                 fred
