Here, Here! I'd love to "let things cool down." Unfortunately, the Trib has already followed-up with another unfavorable article: http://www.sltrib.com/search/index.asp?target=meteorites. Incidentally, I have an appointment today to meet with Bill White and another official from BLM. In my initial conversation with BLM they didn't "blow us off" - just wanted to have us go through the process to obtain a permit. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Frisk [mailto:lkfrisk@earthlink.net] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 12:01 AM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Re: Meteorites on the Salt Flats Ok, Will do. But I think Kim made a good point about pot holes from digging. I am very careful about leaving the ground or grass just like I found it but Kim, Brent, Patrick, and you all have your names in print and so they would probably seek you guys out if there was any damage. I should mention that the metal detector that I built was from plans that I found in a magazine or somewhere and not my own smarts. The coil was lacquered copper wire and rectangular in shape. It was a very simple instrument. Modern commercial detectors can be set to discriminate out all but certain metals so it may be possible to ignore brass shell casings. For the time being I would like to let things cool down a bit.

Be sure to let us know if this is possible, Larry.
I'd be willing to build the coil, if supplied with a reasonable design and given plenty of advance notice.
Anybody got a few miles of magnet-wire laying around? ;)

You are correct Chuck. The coil is removable. That sounds like a pretty good idea. I built my first metal detector from scratch and it worked pretty well. There are a couple of local clubs that have years of experience using metal detectors. I may try to contact one of them and see what they think. Thanks for the idea.
