Satelite scanners?

[Friendly Guy]

Hello guys i am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question because its not about a gold detector its a about a satellite scanner do sattelite scanners work for scanning for gaves and burried treasures?

OK, are you talking about scanning for treasure via an orbiting satellite, or one of those handheld long-range scanners. After watching a few videos, it would seem both of these, from what I watched are a scam. Orbiting sats are working on doing that, but not for public use at all. If there is something else I'm not aware of, I would love to see what it is, and how it works.

My satellite scanner is google earth.

Sorry, I forgot to welcome you to the forum. One thing I failed to touch on was locating homesites, via satellite mapping imagery like Google maps. That is doable for sure.

So like there is a program that useses google maps scans the place and does something to the scanned place and shows a grave or a burried treasure?

No such thing exists.

Are you talking about Lidar? Its strips away trees, undergrowth and leaves just old wagon trails, cellar holes and such... you will not see graves or treasures but you will see trails...
Right in center of this screen shot you can see a cellar hole... it depends on what state you are in.. I don't know if all states have the program...

Thanks Craig, I totally forgot about that one.

Why would you want to know where a grave was?

I started thinking about this and I remembered this article.
Scroll down to the chart and there were many graves located with ground penetrating radar.
Satellites if they worked would have been more efficient in these circumstances.

In Georgia, it varies by county on their GIS county mapping web sites. Some have it and most don't. But the ones that do can really be great in finding old road and CW trenches.
