Meteorite Men Director's Slate with COA

This is the actual professional director's slate used in the "Dronino" episode of Meteorite Men Season Three, which guest-starred our Russian friends and colleagues Sergey and Dima of Comet Meteorite Shop. This is the only slate used in the episode. It can be seen in numerous production shots of the episode, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, signed by Geoff of Meteorite Men.

Lot number: 111
Reserve: None


Meteorite Men Season Three – Geoff's Personal Field Kit

This is the field kit that Geoff Notkin used exclusively for the entire third season of Meteorite Men
in Poland, Russia, Sweden, Canada and at numerous sites in the United States. It was the only hunting kit used by Geoff in Season Three and can be seen in several scenes from the show. It includes a working 650-gram digital scale, an LED loupe, notebook, first aid kit, tactical carry bag, and Geoff's rare earth magnet used to retrieve many meteorites in Season Three.

This lot is accompanied by a highly collectible Meteorite Men Season Three Road Crew patch. Only 100 patches were made and they were given out to the road crew, production team, and guest stars on the show. Only about five remain in our collection, and they are not available for sale. A signed certificate of authenticity verifies that this is Geoff's actual field kit.

Lot number: 112
Reserve: None

"A science writer and television host with a rock ’n’ roll heart describes his exciting, and sometimes astonishing, quest for meaning and understanding in an unexplainable universe. From the smoking volcanoes of Iceland to the sunblasted wasteland of Chile’s Atacama Desert, and the Australian Outback to the Siberian Arctic, Geoffrey Notkin recounts a forty-year odyssey of adventure that takes him to some of the world’s strangest and wildest places—where music and meteorites are often the only sign posts."
