Got lucky on Sunday… I had a site in mind from the 1862 map deep in the the park woods. Lidar had a corresponding anomaly. Made the trek, found the cellar hole but was obviously too large and lots of more modern 1960’s metal strewn around, probably a mining operation. So expanded the search to where water would have been easily accessible and started to see old brick chunks coming down from a flat spot above a shallow ravine. Immediately started getting good signals and the first copper popped shortly after. Best day out this year!

Killer finds, Congrats on finding the site! What do you use for viewing the Lidar images?
Thx! Penn State has a GIS lidar site for my county in PA.
