[QUOTE="Dron, post: 446199, member: 7074"] Hmmm interesting .... has got my brain ticking over ... I wonder if you could hire one of these portable GPR systems and take it to a shallow quartz crystal fields to look for Vugs: [img]https://www.positionpartners.com.au/product_images/628_1460608911_thumb.png[/img] Probably you would not make your money back on the hire fees though ... According to [url=http://www.ga.gov.au/education/classroom-resources/minerals-energy/australian-mineral-facts/opal] this page[/url] it has been used with 'varying success' for opal mining: Seems to me like most opal mines would be too deep for this sort of technology though ... What happened to that guy who was looking for a project for his engineering thesis? :P [/QUOTE]
