Varies so much. I have a very little roofing company...as in its just me anymore, can't deal with bs, and that seems to take up most my time. But...winter, could be several times a week, sun up to sundown. In last month...6 hours.

You don't see any serious relic hunters out west using a CTX in heavy iron either. The EQX800 was far superior in iron vs the CTX. The 2D disc on the Manticore is a game changer for relic hunters, going to be fun testing it out and see what it sniffs out. 🤠🐍🌵
Mark Dayton and Ron Swenson would disagree. Both use ctx, and all our sites are loaded with iron. Now Ron did switch to Deus, but not Mark...even though he has a D1 and D2.

Amazing hunt, and well written. Good job!

Mother nature has a sense of humor!

I got my Hodan for free. Someone left it hanging by the magnet in a bathroom. I asked every miner I saw by the river, no one claimed it, so I've put it to good use over the years.

Right on man. My buddy Mark, hauled up there, got a big chunk too.

I am an Archaeologist, and a 100$ detector is doing just fine for our work. Even cheaper...
Yeah, but we don't really want to dig 50000 square nails.

I realize we don't know all the specifics about the Maticore yet. But from what we do know a few things stand out to me if a person were on the fence about making a purchase between the Manticore and a similar priced recently released detector. Bluetooth audio rather that proprietary audio. Vibrate function, flash light, wider range of coil sized. Most likely less cost for accessory coils, possibly aftermarket coil availability, 2D with target trace and better EMI immunity. Any or all of those things may not matter to some. But it definitely has me thinking.
Cheaper assessors coils is a BIG deal. I've got 3 coils for my d1, and ya know those ain't cheap

Here are 2 links to more info on the fireball and the 2nd is a video Mark explaining the find (very interesting).
Right on. I like to hang out with Mark, cause it makes me look smart...as long as I don't open my mouth , 🤣 😂

Wow, how cool of a find! He did well.
Curious, being a fresh fall, I would have thought following sterile technique by wearing gloves and bagging it as soon as possible would have been good. Wouldn’t there have been some interest in sampling for organic compounds in it? Being an amateur, I would have not knowing if it was necessary or not.
Thanks for sharing the story!
I have no idea, ha. I just wanted to post his story, cause Mark doesn't do the forums anymore, and to me, this was a crazy find.

I hope so, coz thats an amazing story and great find. US$5 per gram is usual for known H series Chondrites. But being a new fall/find and the story....well thats up to the scientists and Universities etc to determine the value. If its a Carbonaceous Chondrite, well....thats thousand$ per gram. Like I said.....needs classification.
I don't want to post anything, that Mark hasn't posted online. I don't know squat about space rocks, but Mark does, has found many before, so seeing him so ecstatic , I know it's a good one. I'm just blown away, that he had the confidence, to just haul ass up there, and then find this sucker.

Obviously needs to be classified. Could be worth big $$ if its anything unusual. But if just an ordinary H series Chondrite, its worth maybe US$2500. But with its fall being witnessed, it may attract a premium price from scientific institutions.
Pretty sure it's worth more than that. Was on the news, etc.

First off, I know this is the wrong subgroup, but I was hoping Steve could leave it for a day or 2.
My buddy Mark Dayton, got a call from his brother, about a meteor that went over Salt Lake City, Utah. We live near Sacramento, CA. He's in a country band, and was booked for next 2 nights, but as soon as that was done, he booked a$$ to SLC. And dude found it!!! I talked to him, and the thing that I found so amazing, is the confidence. Everyone says Mark is a lucky guy, but he puts in the work.
-
Are you new to the internet? Just kidding. F em. And like Steve said, nobody likes a whiner. Nice chunk!
-
Hell...I'll take her ugly cousin! Wow! Badass!!
-
Wow is right! Way to go
-
Nice chunk brother!
-
Jeez. I don't know how I missed, that it will telescope into a nice, compact unit, shove in a backppack..or tie on the back. Nice

Seems right up my alley...simple. I don't like detectors that are complicated, and make you start second guessing on weather it's set up good or not. Rather detect, than program. Now, ...if only I did NOT have to pay for my daughter's wedding in October, haha
How Many Hours Do You Detect A Week/month?

I'm jealous of Jasong, lol. If I didn't have responsibilities and people that rely on me, I would live in a camper, fish and detect year around, all day, every day.
