2024 FREE and better LIDAR for Metal detecting with QGIS - increase your finds rate.

[@rogerbrereton8149]

Thank you for making this video, wish it had been the first I watched as it is really easy to understand, introduces useful processes, and being up to date means that qgis the software still work in the same manner that you demonstrate it.

[@unearthers]

I'm really glad it was helpful 😊

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

Hey, welcome back! - Great to see this, and gonna watch it later, (when my brain wakes up). Have loved/benefited from your previous videos, so Definitely sounds like one for maximum concentration... Thanks a lot in advance! Bobby 🐭

[@unearthers]

It's a recap with latest software and a run through at speed of all of the basics videos I've done hence it being a 40 minute beast. Sorry about that!

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

@@unearthers Hey don't apologies matey - it's all really helpful stuff!... Thanks again, BK 🙏🏻

[@SpitfireExtra]

Thanks! Appreciate this! 🇸🇪🙏

[@unearthers]

You're very welcome. I hope it's useful :-)

[@griffgriffiths9731]

Excellent video 👍

[@unearthers]

Thanks Griff 🙂

@@unearthers HELLO .. setting up the crs to the EPSG 277700 - 0SG1936 .. On your video you have pre set .. how do you change that thanks .. i just just found your videos on this .. thanks again .. 3m 45

[@unearthers]

@@StevieMoore-q3c Ah, gotcha. Just go to Project>Properties>CRS>then type in 27700 (if you're in the UK) and set it as your default there.

[@StevieMoore-q3c]

@@unearthers hi i just sent you a email .. thanks

[@ggmtv1394]

even I felt I understood that! Thanks.

[@unearthers]

Glad it helped!

[@jonescrusher1]

Great stuff, although i'm having issues with maptiler api, very flaky, some maps don't load at all, others load but tiles disappear randomly.

[@unearthers]

That's odd, I don't tend to suffer

[@jonescrusher1]

@ yeah, it worked for an hour then gave up

[@unearthers]

​@@jonescrusher1something as simple as not verifying an email address or they have had an issue, but they power the NLS maps, so typically don't have much down time. It may be something else underling.

[@jonescrusher1]

@@unearthers looks like it was because i was using my google account to sign in, i signed up with email , verified it, seems to be working now

[@davidshanks2686]

Great video. Does the defra website contain data for Scotland also or is it just for England?

[@unearthers]

I'm not sure if they're in the environment viewer downloader, but they definitely have lidar datasets for download.

[@davidshanks2686]

The LiDAR Composite doesn’t appear to be available for Scotland.

[@unearthers]

@@davidshanks2686 it is but you have to grab the whole dataset for the relevant grid ref. www.data.gov.uk/dataset/b2a13ea4-ff37-4da9-be2e-a1bc5e5c55b3/1m-lidar-composite-dsm-dtm-for-scotland

[@jerrymellinger7471]

Great presentation. First time messing with LIDAR, any idea what DERFA type resource works for the US? Appreciate taking the time to present this information.

[@unearthers]

Thanks very much. Sorry it was a bit rushed. I know pockets of the US have lidar data available, but in varying quality. Have a look at the link in the description for other lidar sources 🙂

[@BlurnGanston]

In US try searching for “national map viewer”.

[@StevieMoore-q3c]

Hi can you explain how you reset the default layers .. as i can see from your video the uk one is already installed on the window .. thanks

[@unearthers]

Hi, sorry but I'm not sure exactly what you mean? By default there are no layers. I have online layers in the browser area which I can drag into my layers to build up a virtual map

[@krimke881]

Love it🙏

[@unearthers]

Thanks so much 🙂

[@jimbmaldon]

I cant get CGIS to download in win 10.

[@unearthers]

@@jimbmaldon it works just fine with windows 10. I've even had it running on a raspberry pi microcompter. Just make sure you meet the minimum spec. Here's the link: grab the 3.38 MSI from here: download.qgis.org/downloads/

[@Defiantlizard]

Thank you very much for this, unfortunately i have fallen at the first hurdle! I have Qgis Grenoble and can't find the espg 2700 anywhere on the drop down. Am i missing something? many thanks for posting,

[@unearthers]

@@Defiantlizard oh no! Are you in the UK?

[@unearthers]

It may be that you need the long term build for now if support isn't in there for some reason?

[@Defiantlizard]

thanks for the quick reply, yes I'm uk based. I'll try the ltb and let you know!

[@Defiantlizard]

Got it! Had to go to project-properties-crs and then it appeared in options! (Google was my friend) Thanks again for help, until the next time! Regards Tony.

[@wronggg]

Thank you

[@m9u7shuriken]

Do you know how i can find lidar data for countries outside the UK? Maybe even in africa or asia if possible.

[@unearthers]

If you have a look in the description, there's a link (not maintained by me) to potential sources of lidar from around the world 🙂

[@TheJokesOnUs-or3zn]

Can you find treasure with this method

[@unearthers]

Like all things it's a research tool. Using this and other methods can help lead to a much better chance of finding treasure. I have personally helped lead people to hoards and treasure finds.
