It doesn't say how they found it, but I'm betting on a metal detector.
And it is thought to have landed in the earth 800 000 years ago, apparently there was a major meteor shower back then...

1.5m, 800,000y, metal detector?
I smell a hoax!
It was their grandpa's Model T Ford, he buried it in 1911, and left a secret map so his descendants would have 15m of fame. :wink:

Hahaha well I don't know...
It's going on display in our "Naturhistoriska riksmuseum".

I'll let you know if I hear any development on the matter.

Nickel and iron, no chrome. Sounds like a Ford to me. :wink:

350 pounds of metal might set off a metal detector from 4 feet down. I don't know what range a good detector would have but that's a lot of metal.

Actually, I think they are quite sensitive.
I used to work in a meat packing plant that had metal detectors scanning the conveyors before the grinders, and before packaging. Just in case someone dropped a knife or a wrench, etc.
We had one on the leanest meat line that kept going into alarm for 'no reason', called 'nuisance trips'. We changed the detector, checked every once of the belt, called the manufacturer etc, but still had the same problem.
I was tasked to stare at the thing until I could figure out what was happening. I noticed that the 'input voltage' from the sensor circuit would increase a little when 'redder' meat would pass. I called the manufacturer and confirmed that it would pick up the iron in the hemoglobin.
I later found out that these units cost $20,000 USD because of their sensitivity.

Wow, they go to all that trouble to keep metal out of your meat but not the E-coli. :roll:

E-coli is another story.
Cook your food and you will avoid it.
