[meteorite-list] field hunting tip

[Jake Baker]

Here's a tip so you don't have to bend over to see if a suspect is magnetic.
(This is great for us OFs - old farts) 

 

 

Buy a 'Swiffer' with the long extendable handle. Swiffer is a dusting
product found in the household cleaning section of most grocery stores. 

 

The handle is totally plastic and collapses to about 14". Has an
articulating arm that can be set at a 90 degree angle and it only weighs a
few ounces. 

 

Buy a cheap plastic compass and glue it on the end. 

 

Aaaahaaa !  When you want to check out reaction to a compass of a suspect
just extend the handle and check it out.  No bending no digging and no
backache.

Happy hunting.
