In the sixth episode of season two, entitled "Swedish Meteor Balls," the Meteorite Men embark on a journey to search for meteorites in Sweden. The episode begins with the team of Geoff and Steve discussing their plan to search for meteorites in a new location. They decide to travel to Scandinavia, where they believe there may be a large presence of meteorites due to the area's history of meteorite impacts.
Once they arrive in Sweden, Geoff and Steve begin their search in a small town by meeting with a local meteorite collector who shares his knowledge of the area's meteorites, and helps the pair identify potential sites to explore. After assessing the collector's findings, they narrow down their search to a specific forest where they believe there may be a chance of finding meteorites on the forest floor.
After a long hike through the forest, Geoff and Steve set up their metal detectors and begin their search for meteorites. They spend hours combing through the forest, but come up empty-handed. Disappointed, they decide to take a break and explore the surrounding area, hoping to find a new lead. That's when they discover an unusual rock formation shaped like a bowl that catches their attention.
The Meteorite Men analyze the formation and realize that it could be the result of a meteorite impact. They narrow their search to the area around the formation and immediately pick up a signal on their metal detectors. With renewed enthusiasm, they begin to dig, and sure enough, unearth a small, yet stunning meteorite. They quickly realize that the bowl-shaped formation was the result of a meteorite impact and that there may be more meteorites in the area.
The team decides to return to the forest the following day and continue their search around the bowl-shaped formation with hopes of finding more meteorites. After hours of digging and exploring, they finally strike gold and uncover a whole cluster of meteorites. Overwhelmed by their discovery, the excitement and elation are evident as they examine their collection of meteorites.
Through their adventures in Sweden, the Meteorite Men demonstrate their expertise and passion for identifying, hunting, and collecting these space rocks. Their dedication to the craft and their unwavering determination to find these valuable treasures provide a fascinating look into the complex world of meteorites. "Swedish Meteor Balls" is a thrilling episode that captures the spirit and excitement of hunting for these elusive and otherworldly objects.
