[meteorite-list] What metal detector works well on finding a stone meteorite?

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

Hi Tim and List,

Warning - I am repeating second-hand information, not personal experience.

I've done a lot reading on metal detectors and meteorites lately, and
I found a review (shootout) of several metal detectors being used to
find meteorites - irons and stones.  It seems that the older metal
detectors that have trouble with mineralized ground are actually good
with stones.
