Hi Jason, I made a very similar device a few years ago. You can see it here: http://illinoismeteorites.com/cgi-bin/board/YaBB.pl?num=1208722522

I am mostly a gold nugget hunter and I have had this setup on my mind for some time now to clear the junk metal prior to detecting for nuggets. But then I watched a recent TV show. You all know which one. And it hit me that this would carry over very well to the meteorite guys/gals also. I am building them with the best rare earth magnets I can get. I have a small web site and some videos of it working. I know this will cover more ground and help out with all the little bits of meteorites in a strewn field. Check it out if you guys get a chance. Glad to be here and I am keeping a closer eye on the magnetic rocks we have been finding while detecting the wilderness. I fear I may have tossed a few meteorites not knowing thats what they where. I will keep anything even close from now on!
