P.S. Perhaps a compass can be used as a weaning device?
It generates a minimal magnetic field, and yet is sensitive
enough to detect most H- and L-chondrites.
yes compass is able to detect (by a small deviation from N when you
approach the stone) the magnetization of a say L or H. But

Unfortunately every Saharan or Omani SNC has been tested with a magnet and
therefore are definitively useless to investigate further this issue.
Every is almost the correct word.
Almost is the correct word.
When I hunt with my mates, I do not use a magnet. Some of them does even if

arsenal is unfair, unrealistic, and completely unnecessary.
It's hard enough making that first
Hello Robert, I truly agree with you, right now I dont have 1,800 dollars
for a magnet, instead I could use that money for meteorite training, thus
harming the magnetic field history of the first meteorites, but after that I
would be able to have more non-harmed meteorites. Even with magnets
