	Larry Atkins Scores Larry Atkins beautiful find from Jan. 25th. A nice large specimen 103 grams and a smaller piece 16.75 grams & both fit together. Larry found these by eye 2 days after Todd made his find approximately 3 miles away. Speculation, after windowing the specimens is that Larry & Todd's finds will most likely pair. Congrats to both Larry & Todd! See another pic

	9/29/10 I found this iron object in the Prescott area with my Omega 8000. I didn't think much of it at the time but now believe it certainly came from the sky. The unique aspect is that since finding it, it has begun to rust. This specimen had to have been fresh when I found it & just may be an iron meteorite. Would appreciate your comments as I have never seen a fresh iron find.
	Todd Parker scores again Todd Parker found this nice little button meteorite in 2009 & it has just been recognized as his fifth cold find. Congrats Todd!!!
	Fulgurite & Petrified Wood My wife found a twisted piece of fulgurite & a really nice piece of petrified wood while hunting in the Prescott area.
	10/13/10 Anytime you find a ring, it's a great day. The Omega 8000 picked this up 6" deep in a park in Prescott. The ring has 25 stones & it sure would be a bonus if they were diamonds! Also a silver stud earring & a US Army pin. Another ring pic
	Some small finds 10/04/10 The Omega 8000 is sure good at finding these small studs and someones favorite jewel.
	Coins & Trash I have been asked lately as to how much trash I dig while hunting. Here is a days finds from a City Park. It may not be as easy as I make it look. I hunt in the all metal mode as to not miss the small gold items. You take the good with the bad!!! Remember your cleaning the Park in the process.
	More City Park Finds 2 rings, 1 earring with stones in it, a foriegn coin & something I have never seen before, a coin with PE on both sides. Maybe someone can give me a clue.

	Lorton, VA Meteorite Hammer Stone I never thought much about hammer stone meteorite material until I actually had it in my hand. It's amazing how a meteorite can go through the roofing & leave holes like that at 200mph. Check out this link

	Aircraft/Nasa Parts While hunting a very remote desert area I stumbled on numerous small parts which eventually led to a crash site. Scattered over a large area are hundreds if not thousands of parts to an aircraft. Jim Smerglia & I now believe the parts may be from an F-16 fighter which crashed in the area. The Air Force kept it a secret site, as an exact location is not mentioned as being in this area.
	Gold Wedding Band Another ring found with the trusty Omega 8000.
	A Few Jewelry Pieces Here are a few more jewelry pieces found here in the Prescott parks. Interesting fact about the Teknetics Omega 8000, in the all metal mode, you are able to pump the detector over the target & pin point the item. Just one more thing you can do with the 8000.
	Todd Parker's Newest Whetstone On Saturday Dec. 12, 2009 Todd scored with another 204 gram specimen. Check out more pictures. Scroll down this page to see Todd's 219 gram from same area.
	Prescott area Iron My friend Jim Smerglia found this excellent looking possible iron a while back. This specimen weighs in at 8+ grams. Jim's on a mission & hunts about every other day. He might find a new field any day now!
	Prescott August 24, 2009 In my continuing effort to find meteorites, I may have discovered a small iron. This little target really screamed. I figured it was a bullet. To my surprise this little piece really smacked my handy-dandy magnet stick. This small piece has great character with some bluish crust.
	August 24, 2009 I've now been working this large park in Prescott for about 4 months. The targets have overlapped with coins, pop tops & etc. Now that the targets have become individuals it's fun to watch the jewelry come out of the ground. The Omega 8000 continues to lock on the valuables.
	August 3, 2009 As I continue to test the Teknetics Omega 8000 I find that this detector is very good at finding small objects at remarkable depths. This is the second small earing stud at 2" below 3" turf. The ring was found at 3" and locked on screw cap and would not budge. 1 big stone & 6 smaller ones. Will have a jeweler check this one. The 8000 is one sweet detector! It appears there are numerous ways to confirm a target with this machine. After several months of testing over the junk in city parks, the unit seems to have a mind of it's own & lights up on the precious items.
	June 23, 2009 New Meteorite Fall It's been 97 years since a witnessed meteor fall has been found in the state of Arizona. Congratulations to Todd Parker on his 219 gram find in the new meteorite field! Todd was invited to join the recovery team and his experience paid off. What a find. Beautiful specimen. Hard hunting in the 100+ degree temperatures here in Arizona.
	More Finds Here are a few more finds with Teknetics Omega 8000. This detector is working extremely well. Tokens, rings, more bracelets, 45 blank round, 38 blank round, earings & an Arizona Tax coin.
	Here's a dandy find While testing the new Teknetics Omega 8000 detector for First Texas Products I found this nice 14k bracelet. I am very impressed with the Omega 8000 as I found a bunch of coins as well. All tests indicate that the 8000 detector is highly productive. Thanks David Johnson for opportunity to test the Omega 8000.
	Possible new Iron find While hunting around 7000 feet in the Prescott Forest I found these 2 iron objects. Hope these turn out to be a possible new find.
	Prescott Chinese Coin While hunting a City Park I found this Qing Dynasty coin. It would appear from research to be between 1600 - 1800 vintage.
	Franconia 5 day trip Jim Smerglia & I made a 5 day trip to Franconia where we met up with Larry Sloan, Todd Parker, Tim Glidewell & evening guests Denny Asher & his wife Patti. We had one fantastic time & were treated to great comet viewing thanks to Jim and his astro binoculers. See more pics of the Franconia trip.
	Civil War era Button Found this button in Chloride on Dec 5, 2008. I have looked through the internet & cannot find anything that resembles this one. It appears to be a Federal Button. If anyone has an idea, please contact me.

	Chloride Area 6/22/08 I said this before & I'll say it again. You never know what you will come across in the desert. Came across an old wagon trail on my meteorite mission.
