Interesting to Google Earth view of Nondalton Alaska, the town near the
location of a huge new gold and copper mining site. A closeup view of the
bay adjacent to the town indicates some barely discernible rectangular
lines in the shallows can be seen. The geology and the shape of Alaska
is fascinating considering the supposed history of the migration of
Siberians to the new world across a land bridge now named the Aleutians.
Could it be that certain earth land shapes could be used to locate
potential minerals near the surface?
That could well be, and certainly is the case when spectroscopic
images are used, but I think the pattern you see on google earth is
the google background copyright protection pattern that becomes
visible when superimposed over still water surfaces.
We have a resident ole time gold prospector sitting at the bar at the
Dime Box that is just hankering to know.

An old acquaintance of mine had an interesting scheme for hunting
minerals. He sniffed out trace metals from flowing water, and worked
his way back upstream. The instrumentation of the day wasn't good
enough for it to work well, certainly with gold, but maybe it would
work today. You may have heard of him in another light. Some of
his remains are now at rest on the moon. His name is Gene Shoemaker.

agreed, i looked, it seems to be image artifacts of some kind
and id herad that was levy that had done prospecting. goes to show you cant
trust the news. Very cool R.C. thanks for the info. i may give that a try
for fun myself sometimes. id look more for more dissolvable minerals known
to be with gold, myself. sulfates and silicates of certain kinds.

Howdy Horace and Leaking Pen..
Don't know much about Google's copyright protection software but something
sure set off the US DoD when word got around that Goggles wasn't keeping any
secrets..
Notice there is now a whole Utube cult category of vids on close-ups of
locations on earth.
Some years back when the DoD was "mapping" the earth via satellite and
subsea side viewing sonar, it seems these extremely high resolution photos
found their way into the libraries of major oil companies and mining
interests. Google's closeups can't match the super closeups of DoD. Since
that time the major oil and mining interests have been active in locations
like Nondalton Alaska.. and New Mexico around the south end of the lava beds
above Pietown and the north end of Alamogordo military reservation.( yes!
there is a Pietown New Mexico).
I suspect the next huge series of mineral deposits have already been
located in the oceans and subtle work is progressing at the UN in trying to
work out ownership.. hmm.
