Interesting finds. Looks like you found some "Tough Guy" wannabe gangbanger bling. When I saw that TS, it made me think of T-Money. Too bad it wasnt platinum and full of diamonds. Good hunting.

Thanks for the answers, I hope that Physicist has some good data for you. Good luck with everything. Just curious, but were you sharing this same story on Treasurenet? about a year ago? There is alot familiar with a poster over there whom they banned eventually. -
** Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine ** A Miners Journal **
Kodiak replied to GhostMiner's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I am enjoying this thread, but I fail to see how a physicist could determine there was a large gold deposit using ariel Lidar. Lidar only measures the ground surface, perhaps he was using different equipment besides Lidar? Is this fellow a GeoPhysicist? There was a good thread awhile back from some Romanian fellow with a ground penetrating radar. -

Wade The 1 Armed Warrior And His Gpx-6000
Kodiak replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Wade sounds like a great guy glad you guys found some gold. The story lead me at first to believe he only had one arm, which reminded me of a guy I met who was a an actual amputee, with only the stub. He was a log truck driver, and would drive, shift, and use the CB to call out mile markers, all with one arm, and a little stub. Stay cool and hyrdrated. Kodiak -
How Much Can You Raise In A Pinch?
Kodiak replied to Jim McCulloch's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I remember reading that in the during the Alaska Gold Rush in the Klondike, that the miners would just hand their poke to the bartender, and the bartender would take out the needed pinches. You were supposed to turn your back to the bartender when they did the actually pinching, as otherwise you were showing them disrespect. It was the honor system. There were tricky bartenders though who would run their hands thru their hair after every transaction, and then wash their hair at home to collect the gold dust. -
Found in remote Alaska, near the site of a WW2 Sawmill. It would appear this is a global phenomenon.

Nice video Karelian, Have you tried using your drone and mapping software to create any high resolution maps yet? There are drone mapping programs out there both pay to use, and free to use, that can create high res imagery that can be overlaid in google earth etc. You can also create and overlay DSM's, Direct Surface Models, and DTM's, (Direct Terrain Models). Its just another way to visualize the ground, and can make spotting depressions and surface disturbances easier. Its a good solution for a closer overall look at a larger area, and then if it warrants furthur investigation, you could send the drone to the areas of interest to take video. All without leaving the truck.

More Land Opening To Prospecting In Alaska
Kodiak replied to Clay Diggins's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Every Map of America always has Alaska way out of scale, and placed in a box somewhere near the Hawaiian Islands. This is the most accurate map I have found from an Alaskans perspective. -

Custom Maps For Smartphone GPS App
Kodiak replied to Denver Bryan's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Hello Denver Bryan, I do alot of mapping using ArcMap and shapefiles on the desktop. I have also used the free version of Gaia GPS for the smartphone. Its pretty easy to use, as you do all the work on the computer, and only use the phone for viewing. You just upload your .shp or .kml files to your account and it will load on the phone when you open the app. It comes with a Topo / trail Map. One big benefits is that it does not require cell phone coverage to operate. I also upload and download shapefiles and .kml files to my Garmin handheld GPS. I used to use the free Garmin BaseCamp software, but I recently found this good tool from the DNR University of Minnesota that converts the tracks/waypoints from my handheld GPS straight into shapefiles and .kml files, as well as lets you load those files straight on the handheld. I really wish I had found this tool earlier. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mis/gis/DNRGPS/DNRGPS.html DNRGPS Application Description DNRGPS is an update to the popular DNRGarmin application. DNRGPS and its predecessor were built to transfer data between Garmin handheld GPS receivers and GIS software. DNRGPS was released as Open Source software with the intention that the GPS user community will become stewards of the application, initiating future modifications and enhancements. Best of luck, Kodiak
