- Geoff and Steve arrive at the famous 63,000 year-old meteorite crater near Odessa, Texas with a dazzling array of the very latest hunting equipment: ground penetrating radar, a military bomb detector, and the mighty Rockhound - a go-anywhere amphibious tracked ride that gives new meaning to the phrase "all terrain vehicle." Braving temperatures in excess of 105 degrees, the guys use every trick and tactic in their search for space rocks, and stumble upon a most surprising discovery.

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 convinced a friend to come with me out to a dry lake bed to search for meteorites. It would be an absolute dream to find one!! This is my first time hunting. I don't know how many people have been out to that particular lake bed, but I have high hopes that I'll find one they missed. :) We're leaving in a few days. I'm super excited to go! If I find one, I don't think I'd be able to give it up beyond getting it tested. I have a couple of campo nuggets. Knowing they came from space before our planet was even formed, when we were all energy existing somewhere else before we were like, "Wake up, babe, new planet dropped," is just so cool!
Thank for uploading!!!
I happen to be from Odessa,Tx and I used to go to a windmill and water tank that me and my friends would go swimming, unfortunately that was about the only water around .So as another past time in my childhood we would go rabbit hunting auto there and we frequently would ponder around Meteor Crater and it was as dead as the trees and non existent grass out there . However I always thought it was just something that was made up to make Odessa seem exciting but now I am a bit more excited but it's still not a place a want to live again , It's just desert hot dry windy dusty desalinate area.The good old Permian Basin ,lots of oil and gas though and home of the world famous Permian Basin Oil Show
You gotta know ET is going to come back for a case of Schlitz.
I was born and raised in Odessa.
Me to
incredible
Lubbock here....
The rocks that hit the ice sheets sure made a mess.
If Boston Dynamics sponsored Steve & Jeff, their success rate should go up.
Spark, can you make the A4 Pacific Transatlantic Trek video available to watch in the USA please?
I got a 40 pound iron meteorite I found in the town of West, Tx
Nice!
Avatar the Last airbender.....the meteorite that fell when soka was being trained by a swordmaster...he used the meteorite to forge his sword. I love a space metal meteor blade
Yeah you got some bucks sitting there to the right person goodness gracious
Has it been tested?
$500k in equipment... give a kid a $100 detector and he becomes an instant millionaire. lol.
Wasn't there a person with the last name of Garvey with an interest in meteorites that was also involved in Fentanyl manufacturing In Kansas? The authoritiea traced the operation back to Kansas initally by analyzing the reports of overdoses. Kansas had so few back then that just one report
Showed up as a spike in the data.this was in the days before medical secrecy was a big thing. Back then the insurance companies would mine medical data to project and determine the cost of a hospital aquisiton they were quite frustrated by Kansas Because the Database formats were all different in the medical fields and mining was difficult not long afterwards. Hippa security was imposed. So now for a flu shot you have to sign a release that gives away all your data. Just another example of how we are all bought and sold in Meat space on a daily basis. This is how conspiracy theories get started The Truth is stranger than fiction and Those objects in your rearview mirror really are closer than they appear.
Why is that guy thats never ready even there like he just slows the team down
I want to know where did the road gravel come from. Dig there.
They would be a good starting point for electronic media sources sub strate with separating point's.
Man digging in the west Texas sun is no fun. I was born in Andrews Texas just north of Odessa. Don't drink the water. Nasty tasting stuff.
I would agree. Why are these professional amateurs wearing black, or brown hats in 106 degree sun ??
My great grandfather plow up a meteorite when he was young using a mule in those days. He used it to hold a door open. He gave it to me in 1964 his age was 92 back then it is about 12" long and 5" wide rounded edges full of round pits with what appears to be like tiny crystals mixed in the meteorite. I never seen a meteorite this large and the field it was plow up in was miles from anything but a horse trail. Today a subdivision covers the area so searching for more pieces is a bust. North Georgia area isn't known for space rocks more known for White Lighting/mountain dew...lol.
Been there a few times
A dude used convicts to dig shaft in the middle of it years ago
Looks a lot like a caleche pit to me. No , I said no pieces have ever been found
Just a not so defined ridge exist on the west side.
When I was there there was only a small hut to show where the crater is.
You just walked in.
This was in 1960s
No nada zip none
Did they even mention the deep shaft dug by convicts?
I understand the site has been upgraded several times FOR TOURISM, because oil business has its ups and downs
There is no telling how many metal detectors have been ran over this whole area.
Might find all kinds of oil field scrape iron, firearm shells, even ranch trash from the early 1900s
What about the strewn field how far do they think it was?
Any old school tech UFOs?
is it just me or is the audio desynced after the first 15 mins or so?
Just you.
No lol
Me too
Why did they not do the line trace before digging the 1st pipe
If I give idiots the permission to search on my property then anything you find is 90% mine...ya dig?
Except you don’t have property 💀💀💀
Hi! Do you buy lionsdelite?
Would a 300lb meteorite really only cost $100,000? That seems like such a low number
Yeah, maybe a bit less or a bit more. The bigger they get the lower price they go per gram just because there are not that many collector of big rocks like that.
@@FireballSteve that's very interesting to me always have thought larger stones would be more collectable, heck ide rather have a large cool meteorite than a small one. Thank you very much for the reply love your vids!
I have about 5 medorites
I would be happy to find 8:54 even a small meteorite. And after I found it, I would hate to be in an economic position that made me sell it. While I'm alive, I've have a great display and conversation-starter, and after I die, it still has value. A meteorite is an ideal heirloom to pass on.
Hello 👋
My crater I fond was 1/2 round with debris stuck in the sides of it all around and on top scattered like a fan I would like someone to give or sale me a testing of a sample but I can not seam to get help because of all the people turning in rocks out of there backyard
I remember when this hit. My whole house creaked and two pictures fell off the wall.
Is this a joke?
@@rpkamins obviously it is,
iridium?
👍
Someone should've told 'em it's ok to hunt for meteors in the spring and fall. {0.o}
🤙🥳😆😂🤣🥳🤙
Yeah, but our contract was issued by Science channel and we had to film all 6 first season episodes in a 2 month window of time. Had to be there in the heat…sorry.
5000$ an hour, now that is worth getting up in the morning for.
lol if they are paying these people 5000 dollars an hour to find old trash meteorites then they should pay me a mil lmfao.
Lol bout to just quit my job and go around meteorite hunting 😂
wow
I have a meteorite that’s so old it barely even has a fusion crust…. So if that’s 60,000 years old then mine must be 10x older
Is 15 feet deep defined as subsurface geology or surface geology? Seems pretty near the surface.
🙋
❤️
Gotta like this program format; in just over a minute, you know almost everything worth watching..saved 46 minutes of my life =)
That's funny and sharp.
ask you for your help. I am a fan of meteorites. Unfortunately, I see a meteorite and go after it in the extreme heat in the desert. After some days, I find traces that I took while they came from a far place. In the end, I discovered that I have a way to know the coordinates, so I want you to help me on the way, please
I have a strange stone that never purple It is made of metal It is silver and it measures 2 inches wide and one and a half inches thick and 4 inches long and it weighs 500 grams or a little more if you are interested in looking at it
🙏🏻😊💕
After digging 30 feets with more than 500 thousand doller machine they'll find piece of rotten iron in the ground lolz
120 years of oilfield waist and thousands of pipelines in that area. It would be really difficult to find anything of value. The good thing is the truck stop is five minutes up the road😁
all the excavation from the oil development is what makes it ripe for finding for finding.
The truck stop was not up there when we filmed, boy that would have been nice. Most of the tonnage was pulled out in the 70’s-90’s when the retired local guys with detectors went out there to get exercise and to supplement their retirement and SS checks.
What can I get for my 98 ponder

Why not drive down the road pulling a magnet?
They`re dumb.
They were embedded pretty hard, besides, the magnets would have been covered quickly and we didn’t have enough magnets and we were just excite to get them out of the ground. But yes, we could have sat down and ordered a hundred magnets and waited for them to arrive.
That didn't look like pipe
Reup load this the audio dose not sync up 15 minutes in
By the way the meteor came in from the east and landed on the west bound runway.
You're looking in the wrong place I can tell you exactly where to look
Hi
❤🎉
I have about 5 medorites
Как можна связватся свами
I Have magnetic stone almost 1kg.70grams
This show is the difference between American science documentaries and the rest of the world science documentaries. More silly entertainment and empty calories.
Documentary??? We didn’t make a documentary. We are just taking people along and sharing what we do. The network chose to make an entertaining show not a documentary. Sorry. Thank goodness youtube has documentaries for you to go watch.
So many advertisements, I cannot focus on the intended story here. Stop it!
So I've got a small piece of this thing. It's about the size of a fingernail. It's verified, came with paperwork
❤🖐️❤
oh god the homer simpson beard on that one guy is distractingly unflattering
Why so exited of space junk, we all live on one.
I can't stand these guys, something about em that annoys the hell out of me.
I agree. The whole thing is too contrived, cute and cartoonish. It's too much like a fake reality show.
You hit the nail on the head. Some of their comments are childish. Basically they said we can be here and you cant... Hahaha Ha! Irritating at least. In my State you can't hunt for fossils unless you are privileged. Can't use a metal detector either.
@@jacksak that's television for you.
@@jacksak Precisely !
I’m sorry you don’t like me.
bad vid to audio alignment
These two guys need to get a real job like the rest of us. How did they get permission? I wonder
🤔
how hot is it ? just hot enough to choose my black hat and black shirt. a tip, wear white.
Dude does not know how to properly swing that detector. Completely wrong swing, probably missed a lot of targets.
Indian government not support meteoter hunter sir.

سلام کسی که فارسی بلده بگه در ایران و عراق و افغانستان مخصوصا کویر لوت چیزی پیدا میشه؟
Google translated this. Amazing Tech!
Free jacob Zuma he's innocent and a very honourable king
😂😂
Yea well Australia is getting nuclear submarines and taking over the indo pacific! That's bigger news then some meteorite... 🤣🤣
This isn`t news.
Totally Bogus!
We were totally bogus? How so?
Too late. It missed George Bush.
These clowns didn’t find anything! The discovery goes to the guys who obtained the gravel and spread it on the road. I can’t fathom how these guys thought pulling gravel out of the road made them some great discoverers.
