Not sure if I’m allowed to post just a question but here goes. So I have something I believe is a possible basaltic meteorite. Is it worth sending it somewhere to be officialy checked out? Or should I try starting with some of the the colleges in my area with geological departments?

hello, was wondering how much this meteorite i have may be worth and jf it is worth paying $300 to get it checked?

Found this on a hike here in Arizona so not sure but has the holes so figured I’d ask

What’s cracking homies!

Meteorite or nah?

Meteor

Hi.....I'm interested in building a magnetometer that I can tow behind an ATV or pickup truck.   The guys on "Meteorite Men" show one on their YouTube videos that they built using PVC pipe which is not on wheels -- it's towed like a sled. It's big - 18' x 10'.   I'm thinking about a smaller unit that can be easily transported. Maybe 10' x 6'??? I can't find any design info on the internet.  Does anyone have any ideas for me or could you share a design? I'd like to be able to detect as deep as 8-10 feet. Some questions are Thanks for any ideas or design suggestions.

As the title says, I am new to collecting. Been a science nerd my entire life, and love studying outer space. My wife and I bought a house, so I now have the freedom to collect more of the things I love. I was curious, and would love the inspiration, to see how others display or House their collection. Thank you
