[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 12721, member: 414"] Over the last few decades there has been thousands of people walking around with detectors , many of them finding big patches of gold So they dig it up and go buy a house or ferrari or 50 polo horses . whatever takes their fancy " BUT " If they found 20 ounces or 500 ounces it would have been within the top few feet of the surface. What about whats below the surface in the few hundred metres below that ? Those few hundred ounces you took home were an indicator of a possible resource that could have been 300,000 ounces which might never be found . Do any of us consider it appropriate to record the information and do something with it so that knowledge is not discarded and devalued ? We could notify DPI sell the info to a miner with an upfront payment plus a royalty return pay for a geological survey , drill a few core samples , and then do a deal with miners with a royalty return any thoughts or thunks contemplations or musings to share ? navel gazing permitted as long as you donate spare navel lint to my grandmas knitting circle ( i hear it makes a great tea cozy ) 8) [/QUOTE]
