Hey Geoff, it’s your friend Vanessa! ;) I am curious if you guys were ever able to go back to check out those further south “mystery crater(s)”? Maybe someone else has gone out to examine & document that area in the last 3 years?

Actually, yes we did, but the camera crew was not in the country, so it didn't make it to the episode. The site was fascinating. There were significant indentations in the group that could well have been craters. And the ground returned the same specific signal as Henbury meteorites (on the detectors). But we were unable to locate even tiny fragments. It remains a mystery. Great question, BTW!

Revisiting all you posts while in lockdown. Feeling inspired to go hunt my own country soon. Thanks for the science, fun and amazing landscapes. From Australia.

Great finds!

Really wish you guys were back recording for new episodes. absolutely love watching your shows even though there from way back. Always wanted to go looking.

The last piece you found was so sculptural. I'd love to have seen that all cleaned up and on a nice display stand. the shot of it standing straight up on your rock pick made me imagine having a casting made of it and scaling it up for a brass or bronze sculpture. Amazing finds all around!!

Thank you kindly! We always have to decide whether or not to clean a particular piece. As a great friend of mine (and meteorite expert) once said: "You can always clean it later, but you can never put the patina back on" 😉 The Australian government kindly granted us export permits for those finds (and I made a donation of American meteorites to Australian museums as a "thank you"). I decided to leave that piece in its natural state. Still very much a fave of mine. Thank you for watching + commenting! 👏

Great series. Don't know why it doesn't have more views.😊

@@GeoffNotkin Nice to see you replying. Any chance of coming to China for some meteor hunting? I would love to visit the Luoquangouli罗圈沟里 crater in Liaoning

Excellent! Easily one of my favorite meteorites and it was such a dream come true to visit the craters and collect specimens there. We are extremely grateful to the Australian Parks Service and the local landowner for their generous support of this expedition and allowing us to film and search for specimens.

Are the flies that bad everywhere in Australia?

Hi Jbird! Our Outback specialist told us that the flies were "nothing" at that time and it's often much worse. I guess we got off easy, though the rain and flooding were pretty intense. But what a great adventure and we loved working with our Australian crew. Tons of fun they were. Cheers for watching.

Here before 100K subs. chase Your Dreams! Can we be youtube friends? x3

good day! Can you please give me your autograph?

There are 2 lakes maybe 3 In Florida that seem obvious they are craters. Ocean pond in Osceola national forest. Then theres a lake near camp blanding called Lake Lowery. These lakes are perfectly round. One fact is outside of Florida and Minnesota there are no natural lakes.Man made lakes yes controlled and created by dams and rivers not natural. A third possible crater is Lake Apopka north west of Orlando. Long before your award winning series every time I went hunting I would always think these were ancient craters. In my amateur opinion I dont think a lake can naturally form in a perfect circle

Round sinkholes.....quite common in Florida as the limestone devolves from below.
