  • Geoff and Steve revisit the site where their hunting partnership began back in 1997: the Imilac pallasite strewnfield high in Chile's Atacama Desert. It is winter at 11,000 feet in the driest desert on the planet, but with new equipment and grim determination, the guys persevere through the harshest of conditions and - on the desolate plains of Vaca Muerta - make one of the most significant discoveries of their careers.
    --
    For thousands of years, meteorites have slammed into the Earth's surface carrying an invaluable record of the origins of our solar system. But finding meteorites on Earth, some buried over centuries by thick layers of dirt and sediment, is no easy task.
    Meteorite hunters Steve Arnold and Geoff Notkin travel to some of the most remote locations around the world to explore the scientific and financial value of meteorites. Featuring treks in Chile, Sweden, Australia, the US, Mexico, and more, these meteorite men meet with top scientists, geologists, astronomers, and meteorite experts to reveal a deeper understanding of how meteorites have helped to build our solar system and shape our planet.

    I love the sign too, but I strongly disagree with his decision to take it home, especially because he’s a guest in another country. Acts like that perpetuate the world’s perception of Americans as vapid consumerists “me first and fuck everyone else”.

    Spark. I am David. I believe I have the location of a vast number of meteorites. I would like for someone to listen to my theory. If I am correct, I believe there is such a haul that the volume would decrease the market value. Let me know if you would like to hear my thoughts.

      It's his now. He stole it fair and square. He's probably one of 10 people that have even seen that sign. You do realize the Atacama is not a place that many people visit. Nobody cares if Jeff takes that sign.

    So I have a idea for you guys to consider. What if you took your hiking boots and somehow installed a coil in the sole. The batteries and circuit board with Bluetooth could be in the sole as well so all you would need to do is pair an earpiece so wherever you walk your boots do the detecting. I have thought about doing this to a pair of boots but maybe you guys might give it some thought. See if it's worth the while..
