The second episode of *Meteorite Men* is now out! This time around, the pair land in Arizona to search for more pieces of Tuscon's infamous Ring Meteor in an attempt to solve one of the biggest mysteries in the world of meteorite hunters. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2mWlJyqja2ojas

[@jupitercyclops6521]

They won't tell you. Looks simple enough. Pvc. Pvc glue, duct tape, zip ties & rope for pulling

The detector is a Pulsestar Pro II, the pvc is just the sled the factory made coil was put on. I did not invent the detector or the coil, just the vehicle it rode on.

@@allenhammer7923 they sold at the time a 25 ft cool, which is big enough for most uses. I had Thomas make us a special 50 ft coil so I could go twice as big…he said at the time the 50ft cool wasn’t perfected, I bought it anyway because most of what I was looking for was less than 10ft deep and I didn’t need it calibrated for maximum depth.

[@mhath5881]

I would like to know how they determine a particular patch of land in search of an impact from thousands of years ago.

[@hihihihihello]

you can pretty much assume there is meteor remnants all over the earth, some harder to find than others

[@mariohendriks1]

It's a combination of geology, climate and history. In a known strew field like the one in Kansas there's a quite a big chance you might find meteorites. In very wet areas like a tropical rainforest most meteorites will completely rust away in a matter of years or decades. At the other hand, in places like deserts or even Antarctica a meteorite will last a very long time and is far easier to spot visually or with a metal detector.

[@bobbythompson495]

I found a 412 gram meteorite over the summer working at a neighbors house. It was among a bunch of boulders next to the sidewalk! I had a geologist look at it and he says he’s 97% sure it’s real! I’m looking for a place in Maryland to have it tested. It’s super magnetic!

Wow wasn’t expecting that first big meteorite to be as big as it was, wonder how big the impact crater would be on one that big!?!?! What an awesome find!!

[@femkevanwageningen6068]

I saw in another episode that it actually can't have been that big. Becouse the bigger the impact the more force. And so, the bigger the impact (the bigger te crator) the more of the meteorite will be incinerated.

[@FireballSteve]

Meteorites this size don’t make craters, they will sometimes punch a hole in the ground. Imagine an iron anvil being dropped out of a helicopter…it’s not going to explode like a bomb blasting out a crater. In hard ground it might just thud 1/3 buried in the ground. Softer or wet ground it could punch in deeper.

Moldavite doesn’t come directly from the meteorite, it is generated from friction between silicon rich soil and the meteor as it impacts, moldavite is a type of glass from where these meteorites hit sand

Is Kansas truly much more densely populated with meteor strikes, or have the same stuff just not been found and documented elsewhere?

I was gonna comment on how their PVC sled looked extremely fragile when they first put it together. I was thinking, "Glad I didn't make that comment. Then it broke. That thing would instantly break if dragged through the farm fields by my house here in Michigan.

[@curtisk2286]

Rt. I'm near grand Rapids

[@FireballSteve]

Yes, but we couldn’t use metal to hold it together. It broke a lot, but the repairs were quick to make, so a good trade off.

[@jayphillips4058]

I was thinking that, too. If I were going to build a sled frame for their purpose, keeping weight/no metallic interference in mind, I'd construct it from Schedule 100 PVC and purchase a good plastic welder. Cut/slot/gusset all corners and joined sections. Build the runners out of 4" PVC, maybe line runner bottoms with HDPE plate, or maybe go with pultruded fiberglass grate. If weight got to be a concern, set up a ramp system to load/unload like an ATV. The more weight involved when dragging through the fields, the less bouncing around and stress on the joints. Having to patch the sled back together all the time would be almost as annoying as listening to those backhoe pins howling for lack of grease.

[@sonyalindee8676]

Earth is a great spiracle magnet with poles is Kansas a magnetic anomaly? Is that why meteors are in a fact drawn to that area via magnetism?

It had a long "tail" that remained for a few seconds and lit up my room, waking me up at around 2 AM. My best guess is that it was a near miss and only burned through our atmosphere.

I would look online for all the recorded and/or reported sightings of 'fireballs' in a given area, there are a few databases out there of where people have seen them and you can kind of triangulate where they might have impacted oh, there are also reports of all that stuff as well.
