    Theres gold in them thar hills

    Cool article about 1st century BC Roman gold mines discovered in Spain . They used some type of laser to map the area. I thought it would be cool to share here.
    Laser from plane discovers Roman goldmines in Spain

    Las Médulas in León is considered to be the largest opencast goldmine of the Roman Empire, but the search for this metal extended many kilometres further south-east to the Erica river valley. Thanks to a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) laser system attached to an aircraft, the ancient mining works of the area and the complex hydraulics system used by the Romans in the 1st century BC to extract gold (including channels, reservoirs and a double river diversion) have been discovered.
