[QUOTE="kingswood, post: 640575, member: 11203"] yep thats what I am now doing. I can import a screenshot of the map into google earth and using landmarks that are on both such as wells, hills, fences etc, can get reasonably close. When I get a chance, I will venture out and see how accurate that is :) Just finished reading another WAMEX report and can now confirm that the coords they use are related to grids for exploration companies (such as "Austin grid"). Managed to find some of the actual grids in an older mining company report from 1981, so now have these :) Thats a start! [/QUOTE]
