METEORITE PAGE
Meteorites can be found in Arizona, (if you have a lot of patience) with almost any type of metal detector, including BFO types. Meteorites have a certain amount of iron and nickel in them that definitely can be picked up by a metal detector, as long as you are not in the discriminate mode. If you come across a rock that goes off in the all metal mode, check to see if a magnet is attracted to it.

You can also drag a powerfull magnet on the ground to do hunting. There are many natural and slag Iron rocks in Arizona, so its easy to be fooled. The only sure way you will know if it is a meteorite is to send it off to ASU, and they will check it out for you free. The address is:

Center for Meteorite Studies
Arizona State University
Tempe, Az 85281
