How do you open those files Detrack? I also received the KMZ file you sent me for the Greenstone belts in WA (thanks by the way), but when I went into Google Earth I couldn't figure out how to open it in there? Are there any clues for this 58 year old Technophobe? :(

Is there some kind of wood-fired steam engine that I can use to generate the pressure required to make it operational?

A mining friend in the USA found a gold tooth in a River Crevice, showed his dentist who said it was from the 1930s.
I lost one on the nature strip outside a nightclub back in my 20s. :argh:

I think there was a small gold mine worked at Collingwood in early years, forget where I read that, perhaps Gold Discovery of Victoria book, by J. Flett.
From memory they simply explored under the basalt for gold - no gold was produced. Native zinc was also reported in basalt there or at Brunswick - my memory fails me on that. Definitely no gold produced at Collingwood.
 
Metals in sewage sludge are a problem, as they can be toxic when the sludge is used as fertilizer. Sources of precious metals (gold, silver, platinum metals) in sludge would be from drugs, dental surgeries, foil on food, electronics and surface-coating material (eg gold is used to make some red glass). Gold is used in everyday products such as shampoos, detergents and clothes (nanoparticles used to reduce body odour). However it does not all pass through humans en route, but includes waste from mining, electroplating, electronics and jewelry manufacturing. Im guessing, but I imagine a lot entered sewers in storm water in mining days (where did the water go that they used to wash crushing and grinding machinery, mining skips, to rinse cyanide vats etc.)

And those gold flakes in Goldwasser are pure gold, so you might say it is absolutely pissing gold.....

Deepseeker,

if you download it to your PC and just double click on the file it should open your google earth and zoom into there location.

Have you tried that ?

Just tried it but it doesn't work. If I just double click the file you sent to me in my email, it goes to google earth but says "No preview available" and that's the end of it. If I save it to my computer and then try to open it, it asks me which program I want to use to open it or which app do I want to get from microsofts store to open it with.

Good example of Basalt in the cuttings of the Eastern Freeway approaching the Hoddle Street exit.

Drag the kmz file on to your google earth desktop icon
 
WooooHoooo! It works! Thanks guys. I didn't realize I actually had to download GoogleEarth to my desktop, I was trying to find a way just using their website :8

That sure is strong medicine, thank you all so much! :Y:
