Detecting for that meteorite could make you $10,000 richer

[Joel-Winnipeg]

Last week a meteorite the size of a basket ball or up to small car size streaked across the western prairies.
The fall was pinpointed near Manitou Lake Saskatchewan.
Someone from the U.S. is ready to pay 10 grand for a piece of it.
Likely would have broken up close to the ground.
Any takers ?

How do they register-or not register on a detector-say, the Ace 250?

Most of these meteorite are nickel iron base.
A magnet will be attracted to it.
Likely would come in as ferrous ,iron signal.
I use the ace 250 also depending on the composition of the rock could be nickel range.
If you goggle meteorite you'll get lots of info on their make up.

I have various sizes of meteorites at home, and the ACE detector is actually one of the better machines to pick them up.
