  • In this video, I explore a mountain side in search of what looks to be a possible mining adit or prospect that I spotted using LIDAR maps. On the way I find some quartz and quartz veins that contain some small crystal pockets, and pyrites. LIDAR can be a valuable tool and can be used for many different reasons.
    I hope you enjoy this video

    I'm so glad they are thinking in this direction, I was hoping someone would see the true potential of lidar

    sweet. I've always wanted to use LIDAR on old mine sites and showings around my area in BC. big fan and thank you for the informative video!!

      Glad you like it, thanks! LIDAR can be very useful indeed.

    Thanks for the LIDAR review, Jeff Williams had just recently made me aware of it, all this new technology 🤯 I believe he uses it on his drone! If you're not familiar with Jeff, ya aught to give him a holler you're both interested in this..✌️🤠

      I've been fallowing Jeff's channel for years. I saw that video too. I wonder how detailed LIDAR would be if it was created using the drone. Lots of cool technology out there.

      Jeff is The Man, I think so many of us have learned from him. LIDAR is so cool. Regards!

    Bro you found the motherlode but seems you dont know what to do with it for gold extraction? That last chunk with the orange and purple quartz should be crushed and roasted. Build a big campfire up there and roast the sulphides with a hallow metal pipe. All that white bulquartz turns blood red with the sulphur is roasted out of its iron only then can you pan it out to see the gold content.

      I'm not sure there is much gold to be had here because if there was, you would think the prospectors would have kept digging and eventually create a mine. What is interesting is that there is no information that I can find for any historical activity for this location. I have collected some samples from a different quartz vein in the area that they seemed to have missed. I've been working on building a homemade rock crusher but I'm unsure that I will have time to do my own extraction anytime soon.

      The lack of information in that exact location, may be your true find answer, Galena , pyrite, pure quartz is what is directly within the range of AU and silver lodes, placers, alluvial streaks. If you find on old maps there being nearby trails with last names of pioneers and founders, original claims late 1800s you could be considered an original claimant like they were on their staked claims from their time

    Did you do your own lidar scans or use a service? I have a few locations where "treasure" has been buried. Since it's cash it can't be found with metal detectors so I've been researching other options.

    • @GeoForge
      @GeoForge  ปีที่แล้ว

      I used a service, OpenTopography.org. I would like to learn to do my own with one of those LIDAR drones. As for finding the treasure, good luck to you! I think doing your own LIDAR scan would give you better resolution but I'm not fully sure how they work when you do your own scans.

    Is there a website that had lidar maps available ?
    I suppose i could just search and see if any pop up.

    • @GeoForge
      @GeoForge  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For the LIDAR shown in my video, I used OpenTopography.org. However, most of the data there is restricted and I only have access to it because I have a university email. If you want some lidar data of Washington State, they have almost the entire state for free using their lidar portal. Besides that, you just have to search around for it online. I'll leave a link for the Washington portal. lidarportal.dnr.wa.gov/

    • @John-ir2zf
      @John-ir2zf ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @GeoForge thank you ! I did find several options for lidar, but I'll need a desktop comp before I can link the lidar data to Google earth and get the veiw I'm looking for.

    Waste rock dump….not a tailings pile.

    • @GeoForge
      @GeoForge  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, you are correct. I have a habit of calling them tailing piles.
