Koda57,
I use a White's GMT for hunting meteorites. I hunt mainly irons with it and it is a great machine. I also have friends who use them to hunt stoney meteorites in places such as Franconia and Gold Basin to name a few. Any detector will pick up the irons. The stoneys are a bit more difficult depending on the content of iron. Chondrites have different content levels and are classified as such:
H chondrite have High iron contents, and smaller chondrules than L and LL chondrites. ~40% of ordinary chondrite falls belong to this group.
L chondrites have Low iron contents. About half of ordinary chondrite falls are L chondrites, which makes them the most common type of meteorite to fall on Earth.
LL chondrites have Low iron and Low metal contents. Only 1 in 10 ordinary chondrites is LL.
The LL chondrites are much harder to pick up with a detector. You really have to know your machine very very well to set it just right.
I have hunted with friends who own $5000 detectors to $250 detectors and have seen them all be successful with all different levels.
Good luck and good hunting!

Those who say it cannot be done.....

You will never find Treasure.....
unless you hunt for it!
