Count me as a believer in the Gold Bug 2. I have used it at Gold Basin and Franconia and have found small pieces every time there.

Iv'e watched my dad pullout 1g chondrites with his Minelabs SD2100 with the Mono Joey Coil. [Erik] Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2009 07:15:25 -0700 From: meteorit...@gmail.com To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] What metal detector works well on finding a stone meteorite? I would get a gold bug for detecting very small bits if Iron, however to Rubens surprise as well as another meteorite hunter I know (who is not a list member) I found an old weathered chondrite with my Minelab Eureka Gold. The Minelab is very controversial machine it seems, but I really like mine, and think the people who are unhappy with them simply don't understand how to use them. Many humans are strangely unable to grasp simple concepts and follow directions. Always take a test meteorite with you and tune your detecter to pick it up, If you have it set to pick up an L chondrite it will get the H chondrites as well. Example: I swear this happened yesterday! A customer called me ( who lives in Alaska) and said she had no water in her motor home. The RV park manager had already told her the supply hose to her RV was FROZEN, and had disconnected it for her. When I arrived I explained to her to simply bring the hose inside for a few hours to let it thaw out and everything would be OK. Several hours later she calls frantically exclaiming she still has no water!! OH Dear! I asked her to unhook it from the RV and see if water would come out of the hose? She finally understood what I meant and tried it. Nope, no water, ( I was watching her from across the park and could tell she didn't turn on the faucet, so after a few more minuets I taught her all about the way a water faucet works. Yea!! now she has water.god I hope she knows what to do with it. Good luck!
