Searching for Meteorites With Professionals

With Meteorite Adventures you can do just that. Steve Arnold and Geoffrey Notkin have been all over the world searching for meteorites, and have almost 30 years of combined experience.

Sometimes you find meteorites where you least expect them.

In 2005 Steve Arnold became a superstar in the world of meteorite hunting when he discovered a 1430-pound meteorite buried almost seven feet below the surface in Breham, Kansas. He was interviewed by many of the national TV networks and appeared in a series of international publications.

Geoffrey Notkin has spent a much of his life as a meteorite hunter, and has authored over 50 articles about meteorites, meteorite hunting, and other related topics for many renowned rock, gem, and geology publications. He’s also appeared on many TV and radio shows to discuss the world of meteorite hunting.

Now these two have teamed up to help bring the exciting world of meteorite hunting to you.

They can design meteorite hunts for you that are just around the bend or on the other side of the world.

If you’re up for it you can go on one the expeditions that they already have planned, or with a more notice they may be able to design something more specific just for you.

The guides with Meteorite Adventures will teach you everything you need to know about how to find a meteorite, to include using a metal detector, marking it’s location with the GPS, and mapping the strewn field.

Other times a bit more digging may be required to get your treasure.

Be aware that this is not a day trip you will be going on, not only can you end up anywhere in the United States, you may be offered to go on a hunt on the other side of the world.

These trips can last from a few days to several weeks so plan accordingly.
