Not a pallasite or any kind of meteorite, but a cool rock none the less.

As long as you don't use whale oil! 😂 VL found out the had way oil of whale is not the best idea, but mineral oil is what i use to store my largest iron meteorite in. I was advised by some experts and i have had no problems. The oxidation problem i was having with the iron meteorite has stopped though due to no oxygen.

Well the crescent wrench is probably a sign that in the beginning of the season you were adjusting more than you are now. Now you maybe entering a new level of detecting, may the low tones be with you! 🤠

That's so Ca. for you, good job scooping the beach Mitch. 😎 ht

That's a beauty, i can see holding onto that one Gerry. Thanks for the show.👍 ht

Just awesome Jeff, you inspire me and thanks for sharing your finds and knowledge! 🤩👍 ht

Are the coil ears being broken on land or because of use in the water? I am confused on this stiffener deal, i have been using mine in the river and on land. I mostly use my detector on land and probably do not need it, but i am wondering if people are also breaking coil ears on land. If i don't overtighten the bolts the stiffener seems fine.

I have had my Nox since Jan. and i decided to throw a coil protector on a few months ago, i choose the Sun Ray coil protector for around eighteen bucks i think. Found it on E-bay hope that helps some.

Great find sounds like you deserved it, cool thing is the memory every time you see it on your wifes hand.

Nice looking rig you have Madtuna, and while Dig it has a awesome ride also i prefer the yellow when in the field so i can where i parked. 🙃 ht

Looks like volcanic basalt, you won't find little holes in meteorites, that is where gases escaped the basalt.

Now that's a whale of a story! 😂 sorry couldn't help it, but really that is a real keeper of a story thanks for sharing and i hope you keep finding awesome coins!

Smokes! that's a great season of gold, thank you for the show. ht

Welcome, i think you are going to like it here, lots of cool people with tons of metal detecting experience and good stories like yours about your brother's t.v. find. Hope you have time to share some of your finds. HH ht

Way to go storm hunter, nice finds. I think your gemstone could be a sapphire.

Do the seagulls ever sleep? cool little ring, nice scooping! ht

Good job on the lake, love the gold color! thanks for the video.

Those are impressive tektites, with some cool shapes like the dumbbells. I always thought tektites were under rated, but many people don't understand what they are and how they are formed. To think the force of a meteorite impact made these glassy creations is awesome to me, thanks for sharing your collection. ht

Well that's a fine story, and your an even better person for such a good deed, i hope the guy was real happy, and you find a better ring to replace that one. Maybe your next ring will be 2 inches for your good karma!

Way to charge, and gold to satisfy the soul that's what's it about. Sounds like the moonlight was a delight as well as no wind. Thanks for sharing your predawn exercise plan. ht

Oh my that's a good sign, and yes maybe older ring than you thought. Let us know if you find out more, such a cool ring congratulations ! ht

We will miss you Tim, you always has a good sense of humor, and i wish i could have met you, R.I.P. brother. ht

Great find, yea not amathyst, could be real emerald, look with 10x loupe or some kind of magnification and look for inclusions. If your stones are completely clear they may not be real. Awesome find either way! ht

It is not a meteorite, just as other members have said. Man has picked up and dropped things since the beginning, and just a tip most meteorites will have a strong pull on a magnet, unless you had a planetary meteorite which is even more rare. Keep looking if you want to find one. Try know fall areas is your best bet when starting out. Good luck and HH. ht

Yes he did invite me to join and told me where they meet, and he was nice and polite besides digging almost in my yard almost 😄 I was not too interested in the monthly fee and figured i learn more from you guys anyway. 🤩
