Finding METEORITES on My Roof!

Hello!
Up to 1,000,000 tons of meteorite material falls to Earth every year, and I'm here to pick up my slice off the roof! Here's how:
- Scooped up gutter sludge after a rainstorm
- Washed off leaves and sticks to leave just rocky material
- Used a gold pan to separate heavy rocks
- Separated out magnetic rocks (including meteorites)
- Found micrometeorites under the microscope!
Yes, I really did find micrometeorites on my roof, and the whole project took less than a day! Not sure if they're chondrite, stony, or metallic, but I'm pretty stoked on them and hooked to find more.
I also put in an appendix about filming through the microscope, which worked out really well.
Thanks for watching! Stay safe, and good luck hunting!
- Jack

Very beautiful pieces especially the “pearl”. Those vitreous coatings and that orange peel skin along with the same identifiers on large meteorites should be visible on small ones as well. Stone meteorites seem to bring the money unfortunately very hard to find once fusion crust falls off, essentially looks like any other rock. Look for anything shiny, fusion crusts usually black, but range from light brownish (lunar), to red (rusted iron), Mars can have its unique crust, green could be Venus? Interplanetary crust and inside range I believe UV will work on very specific types of meteorites, worth a try. Check out the meteorite they think is from Venus. It’s got a green fusion crust, very little metal, mostly stone. Worth an absolute fortune.

Aaack! You need to buy the picture book -- On the Trail of Stardust! Some glassy bits are from meteorites. Especially if yellow or green. However, there are blue-purple crystals in meteorites -- salts encased in glassy melt, so don't discount them without really checking. Great job, though & good luck on your quest! I was looking for a good teaching video -- will fwd!

Hi Jack, although your methods were pretty spot on, sadly I don’t think you found any micrometeorites. These might be a little large as well, you’ll want to focus on the fraction between .2-.4 millimeters. Great video nonetheless. :)

Quartz isn't magnetic. So how did you pick those up.?
@whynabile
@whynabile 2 года назад
It's a good question - maybe those grains had some magnetite in them too, or they were just swept up along with the magnetic minerals.

What are the specs on your microscope?
@whynabile
@whynabile 3 года назад
It's an older Omano binocular dissecting microscope. Adjustable zoom between 6.5x and 45x. I think it was used in a biology research lab before I bought it used.

If finding small meteorites on every roof is so common .. then why isnt the paint on our cars being chipped by them ?
@whynabile
@whynabile 2 года назад
Hi Arch, I think the majority of these micrometeorites are so tiny that they fall slowly, more like dust than a big rock. Hope that answers your question!
