Franconia, Az Meteorite Hunt Revisit....


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone...

  Now weather is getting much better, I got a chance to visit a place I havent been to in a while.  Franconia, AZ meteorite strewn field. I met up Saturday morning with a buddy Greg. Greg ended up getting the large complete crusted Chondrite and large iron meteorite on the right, I found the smaller 3 chondrites and irons on the left.... Franconia's always a fun place to visit. A lot of large basalt (hot rocks), .50 cal bullets, .30 cal bullets, wire, ect out there, but after an hour or 2 of adjusting my hearing to the tones, you start to hear the differences between trash and meteorites, ok not 100 % of the time, but Id say over 50% 😉... Dont know about everyone else, but no matter what place I go to new or old, I have to get the good ol hearing adjusted again to the environments, be it gold, meteorites, coins, relics, ect.....

See ya in the field,

Dave

Good catch on the smaller ones as the bigger ones I think were very easy to find.

Good luck on the next hunt.
