Aus. Meteorite Find In The News

[Adrian ss]

I have this item . It is a Vajra, carved from an iron meteorite. has been acid etched and coated to prevent oxidation.
Hardly a murmur from my TDI or EQ 600. Nulls out the threshold of the Gold Bug Pro DP. and Red racer (Nokta) but will overload when held close to the coil of this tecta.......So yes not all iron meteorites will sound of on a metal detector.
Weight is 1.2kg and strongly attracted to a magnet....Neat item

Guess What ''' almost all meteorites are now found in NSW .
Why is that ? because it's legal to find keep & sell them in NSW !
But you do need permission to export .

All the other states & territories own any meteorites found .

Same goes for South Australian gold. Technically much of it is owned by the Crown.
