Hunting for metorites
By Webmaster | September 1, 2007
Meet Steve Arnold. He tows a custom-built metal detector behind a four-wheeler looking for meteorites. In October of 2005, he hit the jackpot and found one that weighs in at over 1400 pounds! He values the meteorite at greater than $1 million, so his time was well spent!
Arnold has pioneered a new research technique for finding meteorites and has several teams operating in different meteor fields across the U.S. Maybe there is a larger specimen in his future.
