OK Matt, another informative enlightening and fun session. My name is Robert I worked as a Geologist for a number of years here in my area. Our forte was “Preliminary Soil investigation” for the development of transportation Corredor‘s and communities. Here in Southern California. My area was “field mapping,” “sample snatching,” and primarily and lots of “downhole login.” And then obviously all that information is passed on to the mappers. And engineers to decide how much of what had to be pulled out of where and what type of re-compaction, drainage, ect. I’ve only in recent time decided to pick this back up as a hobby this mineral exploration. And I’m having a great time trying to solve the riddle of gold. Fascinating study, a lot of crockpots out there, but I do value the expertise and the time spent somebody like yourself... i’m not sure where I’m going with all of this right now, I’m thinking about joining American mining rights. And spending this coming summer just kind of traveling around and seeing what I can see. I’m hoping to look in Colorado Wyoming and Montana first. Any suggestions?

You just teached me something I like a lot, thanks. Would love to learn more about map scouting

Great work Matt!

Another great video with great information.

My sister works for a company that does lidar. It's extremely expensive but it works.

Yes to hire a company and have them come and fly an area for you would be very expensive. Luckily many many areas have been flown and rendered at sub 1 meter accuracy by various state and federal agencies and made available to the public.

I have 26 claims here in AZ, I found all the mineral deposites by traditional prospecting and with drones. Ive had really geart results using super high def drone cams for mapping but hooking up a lidar system on one of them might really make life much easier finding deposites

The problem is the expense of what a Lidar system for a drone cost. Especially when within 5 years or so I believe AZ and most states will have sun meter accuracy coverage available to the public for free. I will also say that Lidar is better suited to finding old workings then it is to locating a new virgin outcrop.

Super la Californie ⛏👍

That's totally cool

My lidar overlay onto Google Earth Pro version comes out in shades of gray rather than brown like yours. Seems like yours is much clearer and easier to distinguish features.

It can depend on the program you are using. saga gis does the colored type while QGIS does it in gray. Both are usefu. What program are you using ?

Interesting

Ever want someone to work with, let me know!

Haha yep. They all get to go on adventures to try and find old stuff in the woods lol.

I own a property in Oroville, California and have gold on the land. Theres old mine shafts and also old mining equipment left behind from the 1800’s. I have very little knowledge on it but have panned some out of the creek. Is Lidar the best surveying method to find out how much gold is in the land?

@theprospectinggeologist4347

Жыл бұрын

No. Lidar will not tell you anything about how much gold is left. Lidar just shows you the ground surface as if there were no vegetation. It’s great for figuring out the trends of veins that the old timers were working as well as finding old workings that are buried under thick vegetation. There is no particularly good way to determine how much gold is left on a property aside from lots of prospecting, drilling and other geologic boots on the ground work.

Great stuff, but your volume control is a bit sad.

I’m mainly familiar with Lidar in the US. It will be difficult for me to find Lidar of Bulgaria since I don’t speak the language and I’ve found when looking for Lidar in other countries it’s usually only available to citizens of said country

Any California Lidar available yet? Thanks again. Great video

I looked at the custom page on your website. What do the different colors mean on the map? (Blue, green, orange) also i was looking at the California motherlode area, is there a way to zoom in closer to see the available areas closer. I have a buddy that does relic detecting in the American river areas for old gold camps. He is very interested in the lidar data. I showed him some of your lidar videos and he is convinced that this would be helpful. I live up farther north in California near Redding ca. I am hoping someday thay there is lidar available for around my area. Thanks again
