i just turned your show on but im looking forward to it. I live in rural Utah and I saw a big blank spot in the snow on the side of a steep bank and always wanted to go there with my metal detector to see if its outer space rock that made the whole. i encourage you to continue. this is a good subject.
There are some good lakebeds out in Utah. Cody from Cody's Science Lab managed to find a new meteorite out near Lone Rock in Skull Valley. I've spent a little time in other areas near the edge of the Great Salt Lake that aren't so salty, but haven't found anything there yet.
They're similar to Antarctica but not as old. On some lakebeds like the one in this video, the ice that forms in the winter pushes most of the stones to the edge of the lakebed, where meteorites get concentrated along with all of the other rocks. This video was filmed at the edge of a lakebed that's several miles across - most of it is practically clean and has no rocks. We don't spend much time out in the clean area because there's nothing to find there. I'm writing a paper on the phenomenon and other studies have shown that most of the lakebeds in the SW became permanently dry since ~10,500 years ago, so all of the meteorites we're finding almost certainly fell within the last ~10,000 years.
Very Kewal! I just completely loved this😊

I just recently found your channel. I'm really enjoying it.
Thank you!
That's cool!
멋져요😊
감사합니다!
you find so many on the lake bed. Is it a known strewnfield? Or is it like Antarctica, just a collector through the ages?

@@MeteoriteGallery Thanks...interesting!
any reason why not sweeping w/ metal detectors? - seems like you could be missing buried treasure...
So very cool 😎
I have found some rocks that im pretty sure are meteorite. Is there a way i can send you a pic to check them out?
I think there's an email address listed in the 'about' section in the video description?
@@MeteoriteGallery great I'll try to find them 😆
