Hello Ron and List, especially those experts using metal detectors,

This may be a dumb question but I have nil experience with metal
detectors. Wouldn't it be possible to detect meteoritic debris with
the help of high-precision metal detectors even if it is covered by
several inches of snow?

Best regards,

Bernd
