Make your own LiDAR maps for Gold Prospecting, Treasure Hunting and More!!
In this video, I teach you how to make lidar maps for gold prospecting, metal detecting, archeology, and more from free programs and free data that is available online. Lidar is an incredibly powerful tool that lets you see the bare ground surface as if there was no vegetation. With it, you can see the past mining activities such as shafts, adits, pits, trenches, tailing piles, diversions and more!
Qgis downlowd: www.qgis.org/en/site/
Saga gis download: saga-gis.sourceforge.io/en/in...
Best site for free lidar data in the US: viewer.nationalmap.gov/basic/
Please know that there is more free lidar available out there its just not all located in one place. Some states and countries will have their own separate databases for it.

Gonna try and get this done on the next rainy day. Looks straight forward. Thanks!!
This is very cool, for a while I have been looking for a deep analysis of the data and I am happy that I found that in your channel, thank you my friend
Great resource. Lot of learning curve with it as there are several associated websites to create a good map, and I did not have most of them, but the walk thru combined with the pause button and playing sections over several times got me thru a lot of it. Very useful stuff. Thanks.
Thankyou very much
I'm Def needing this lesson. Thanks so much! I've tried before and had so much trouble l gave up. Maybe after this. Unfortunately I'm at a trunk or treat so I'll probably have to rewatch it fully tonight lol.
Looking forward to it!

Awesome! Love Jeff Williams he is a great guy.
Can you make a video of how to detect buried gold or metal or any anomaly on the ground just using GEE? thanks

No way to really do that. Lidar just shows you the ground surface as if there were no vegetation.
when i start Qgis the template is not the same as yours. the box on the left is labled browser and does not have the tile .icon for raster in it. i have to use layers at the top to get the files. also when i try to merge files the raster tab at the top only has 2 options, raster calculator and align raster. is align raster the same as merge?

Using the Mac version the same happened to me, you just have to turn on the right windows.
Can you put a video tutorial on how to detect minerals and subsurface water, I would be grateful to you
Heyy I’d love to pay for additional help with a complex map feature I want to do. Please let me know your price and availability
Can you use this for countries outside of the USA ?

Some countries have LiDAR data provided to their citizens others don’t. Canada, UK, Australia all have some Lidar available.
I've been trying to get 1m dem for Oregon using this method but the national map throws the error of "Due to a network outage, download of Lidar Point Cloud products may be unavailable. Access will be restored as soon as network repairs are complete."

The national map download? What are you trying to use it on? It will not work on your phone nor will the GIS programs.

It's called "terrain ruggedness" not roughness.

I’m not sure. What I use in the US has been collected by federal and state governments and provided for free to the public. I don’t know how it works for most other countries.
