[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 417643, member: 3008"] Just confirmed it should/does work. For those who wish to check out Vulcan SF with slightly better info. These files will contain information taken from many different samples - Date of sample, location (some of these I have had to convert from a different datum), size of sample, mineral found (generally Sapphire), the amount per cu M and the report the information came from which can be downloaded from the old 'DIGS' site [url]http://digsopen.minerals.nsw.gov.au/[/url] .It may also included certain other information that may be of interest like the color, clarity and size of the individual stones. One particular place of interest is Reg's Flat. Where a major search for diamonds occurred and where apparently a 27ct diamond was found - not by the mining company. The exploration pit is still visible by the road and can be seen from Google Earth. A large amount of sapphire was recovered from there. Last time I was in that area someone had taking samples with an auger. Also the only place in VSF I specked a sapphire on the road. I never got to look into this much at all as kids came along about the time I did the research. To do: Download the PDF. Change the file extension name from pdf to KMZ. Done. Open. Google Earth will open showing peg location. The pegs are also color and size coded to give away indication of the results in the sample. [/QUOTE]
