[meteorite-list] The ultimate meteorite tester

[Gerald Flaherty]

Trouble with that technique has been that their are a LOT of nonmeteoric rocks in the New England neighborhood where I live. Guess I have to move closer to a known strewn field. Not very likely

  Wow!

  With these things the meteorites will fly from the ground to the magnet, so all you have to do is hold it a few feet from the ground.

  Check it out:

  "If carrying one into another room, carefully plan the route you will be taking. Computers & monitors will be affected in an entire room. Loose metallic objects and other magnets may become airborne and fly considerable distances - and at great speed - to attach themselves to this magnet."

  Meteorite hunting could get dangerous.

  Pretty neat.
