  1. 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.
  2. Thanks for taking the time to share Jed's adventure with us, as well as your modern day adventure. I ran out of likes for the day and will be back for more tomorrow.
  3. Nice Yowah Nut. I'm sad to say Ive become an Opalholic myself. Very expensive addiction.
  4. Amazing find. I bet you weren't expecting to dig that. Good recovery job.
  5. I like the name of the nugget. It adds even more character. Sad ending though. Thanks for sharing.
  6. You any data back from that phsist? If the data is good. I wount mine takin out 1 acre parce if price is write. As Bob Barker says, Come on Down.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Congratulations is that nugget turns out to be platinum. Quite the find.
  10. Great pictures. Congratulations on the peruvian real cob, it looks like you found a spot with hundreds of years of history. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
  11. For heavy rain Grundens cant be beat. They dont breathe, but you wont get wet either.
  12. Original Rock looks like an ordinary rock to me. Thats a good thing, no reason to shut down progress because of ancient claims over rocks.
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. Found in remote Alaska, near the site of a WW2 Sawmill. It would appear this is a global phenomenon.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Great looking Whip Saw. That piece looks like great backing for an artistic display. Kodiak
  19. 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
