Admin nuggethunting Posted December 25, 2016 Author Admin Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hey Tom and all, Funny you mentioned glasses. I think I wrote about this many years ago, but I found a pair of sunglasses (cheap ones) that seemed to really make certain ground colors stand out much greater than the human eye. I actually think I found more nugget patches with them, as I was able to scan areas with the glasses on and it would make certain colors that I was targeting stand out. Somehow I lost the glasses ...... I couldn't ever find another pair that did the same and trust me I tried a lot of them ...... LOL Ripply's Believe it or Not ..... It was actually true and I still think about those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homefire Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yeas ago I got to playing around with some Pseudo IR Glasses. Obviously our eyes can't see IR light but we can see some of the Upper fringes of it. These are worthless with a few exceptions. They block out 95% of the light your eyes and mind are use to working with and using. They allow you to see things in a different light so to say. I used them a few times to aid in locating old home foundations, roads and paths my eyes simply couldn't see under normal lighting. Never tried but they may help in recognizing different grounds and mineralogy of area's you would normally notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
