Thanks for the input from everyone. I’ll keep researching and let you know how it works out. It sounds like I should just stick to Meteor Crater down the road and leave the meteorite hunting to you guys! Thanks again. 

Hello all,

My soon-to-be-fiancée and I are heading to Arizona in a few weeks. She's a Science teacher and loves ALL things space. I want to take her meteorite hunting but have NO clue where to start. For the folks whose ever been to Holbrook, I have a few questions:

1. Are there metal detector rental places nearby? We're flying in from Florida so I'd like to purchase/rent when we get there.

2. If we drive into Holbrook, are there maps telling you where to go hunt? I'll continue to look for GPS coordinates before I go. I've read folks talking about railroad tracks...

3. Are metal detectors the best way to find something? Can you "drag a magnet" or use the naked eye?

Thanks for any replies. ANY help will be much appreciated.
