Greetings, You made a good point about anomalies when you said "That everyone has them." For those unfamiliar with geophysical surveys I though maybe we should elaborate on this point a little. A geophysical survey of some sort is run over a property and the results but on a map. I have worked on projects where a company will say the top twenty and/or bottom twenty percent of the readings are anomalous. Thus every property regardsless of its size location or geology would have anomalies. For alot of surveys the results are contoured so in a way it is like looking at a topographic map. So in a way it is like looking at a topomap of the prairies and seeing a small gully and saying ahha we have an anomaly. Another company will have the topo map for the grand canyon and call it an anomally. So anomalies are important but it is also important to put them into context. Or another way of putting it is everyone has anomalies but not all anomalies are signifigant. regards Walt
