[meteorite-list] Question about meteorites in sand dunes

[Régis Motheau]

Hello Pierre-Marie,

it depends on the depth you want to detect the mass.
Ground penetrating instruments can do the job for a max depth of 15-18
meters. At Ensisheim I will give you some documentation about some
instruments I can provide (my table will be next to yours ;o) ).
This kind of instruments cost about 6000-8000 euros. So, you have to see if
the finds will cover the price.

See you in Ensisheim, friendly,

Régis
