    Whites 5900/Di Pro/sl Bump and Chirp??

    Okay, I remember back in the OLD days of the 5000 di/series 2 and the 6000/d that if you bumped the coil on something on the ground (not to say beat it on rocks) but something like a dirt clump or stiff grass clump the detector would sound off with a chirp. Does the later Whites machines like...

    Any Meteorite hunters here? does this look like one?

    Found this yesterday at a closed down golf course. I was using an F2 but I actually found the Meteorite with the Pro-pointer. In the picture its looks to be more round than it really is, if you roll it over the other side is more stony looking. And yes it sticks to a magnet! Mark
