I’m thinking you’re meteor-right about that one. Good score, man. They can’t all be gold.

I believe the Boyco barrel markings indicate as follows: 13-30-31 possibly means 13 gauge metal 30 gallon capacity and manufactured in 1931 This looks exactly like a code another company used in the early 1900's

Fascinating! That would date the placer workings in the area to the depression era as figured

Meteorites are known to be high in nickel, cobalt and iridium, making them worth a lot more even as metal, but then, meteorites are just worth a lot of money to collectors, AND universities.

Remember, the worst day looking for gold is still better than the best day working.

I hope it is a meteorite, they're typically more valuable than gold and man it would be cool to have one in the old collection of rocks.

I think 100% that’s a nickel iron meteorite there’s a collector in Tucson that will pay good money for it (and he can confirm it ) that’s a cool find so no skunk congrats and thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

Who’s the collector?

I could see building a magnetic rack into a plastic barrel, with the axle being the leading edge of a wagon [make the back wheels pneumatic casters] and drag it behind a 4 wheel drive truck. I know people think the worst of iron, but me, personally, iron is a real thing, and so being able to just roll up tons of free iron to bring to my shop and forge into high quality steel would be well worth it.

Obviously that barrel was made on the 30th day of the thirteenth month of 1931;)

I knew there were 13 months,finally proof. You can't get 12 months out of 52 weeks.

If you find a meteorite with crystalline structure, you're into money. There's some numpties will pay you more per ounce than gold. Even ones like with iron/nickel composition are a fantastic discovery.

If they brought some tallow or lard, they could cook meat, eggs, and flapjacks on that metal stove. [makes me hungry thinking about it]

Take a speck of it and put it into acid. If it comes up with a lot of bluegreen, its possible that will be nickel chloride, or copper chloride. If its just really pale yellow, or pale yellow-green its only iron. If it has copper in it, its likely just decayed chalcopyrite, but if its nickel, its very likely a meteorite.

I would like to see your meteorite Im pretty sure I found one in Gold Basin a few years back. The research I did and the pics of others I saw it looked just like theirs. Another great video 👍🏻

@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK

There have been many hundreds of fragments found in gold basin. Its actually fairly common to find one

If you confirm its a meteorite its worth looking for the rest of it.

You can be sure what that piece is if you get it in front of an XRF machine. If you know of any universities you can get to, many of them will have an XRF machine in their geology departments.

That makes perfect sense. I figured the placer workings to be depression era

Those flecks are promising. I detected a similar looking magnetic stone but unfortunately when I cut and polished it , instead of displaying a crystallized pattern it contained small voids. I believe mine may be magnetite.

@argonaught5666

5 ай бұрын

I don't know everything but if there are gas bubble voids it's not a meteorite. Also, the Widmanstatton structure, which you refer to as crystalline, I think takes a certain acid bath to reveal the pattern.

That barrel is a stove burning sollution

Wow! That's a LOT of IRON! I wonder if its enough to be economical. Just roll a big magnet over the ground and pick up TONS of iron for nothing more than the energy it takes to scoop it up and carry it to the smelter.

Don't worry man once I had my steel toe boots on backwards while detecting

Look promising, hard to see it very good. The way it kissed the magnet is a goid sign for a chondrite. I found a 465 grammer in AZ last year! Betted get to work pard, competition us on the way! Leaving CA tomorrow! Woohoo Edit: The flecks are almost a give away. Meteorite.

Its possible the barrel is a drum of oil. Boyco , I think had something to do with Ford company. Not sure. I Google it. And they are selling Boyco antique gas cans and oil cans.
