Most people drive past a dozen lines of trees without a second look. Ken shows you how to stop, and how to work out in about ten minutes of walking whether a line of trees is telling you something about the ground underneath, or only that somebody once put up a fence.
In this video Ken covers what a line of trees can actually be, a fault or shear zone, a change of rock type, a dyke, a water line, or something man made, how to tell them apart from a plain drainage line, what to look for when you walk the line on foot, and the honest limits of the whole idea. A tree line is a clue about the ground, not a treasure map.
Ken Nugget Halloran has worked the same patch of dry country outside Kalgoorlie, Western Australia for fifty two years. In this video he covers reading vegetation lines, ruling out ordinary explanations, and a safe, simple field method.

No claim is made that any specific line of trees or piece of ground holds gold. Prospecting is subject to land access rules and permits that vary by country and state, always check your local rules before you go. Old mining country can hide open shafts, stay well back from any hole or depression.
