After seeing that program on the asteroid hunters and their cool metal detectors/methods etc, I was wondering if anyone had found one in N.Z.?

There's a couple in the Museum, IIRC. I was busy radiating my testicles with the Buller uranium sample and wondering why I forgot it was there and hence didn't take my radiation detector in to test it out.

Its a great show. Metal detectors are used to find meteorites. (as an asteroid would not be so hard to find...). They tow giant coils around the desert with a four wheel drive. The coils are made of pvc pipe and wire. Shane Garrett ace 350
THE CREAMER BROS..SHANES STUFF. THE FAR SIDE. SHANES PAGE TOO. SHANES PAGE.
A NEW DETECTOR. HOWARD AREA.
