Thanks buddy. I was pretty sure there was a way on GE, but I couldn't find it. So far the only way to find out is to have a BLM office convert it... which seems effin stupid considering the power of the internet. I did spend some considerable time last night trying to figure alternative methods. What I ended up doing is searching "stevens county township range" and came up with a "Stevens County GIS Home Page". Here I found a list of all Township/Range combos in Stevens County, each with it's own link to a PDF from the county Public Lands Map. That worked great and I go a general idea of where the property was. The reason for all of the searching is because my mining partner recently discovered that he owns (from his father) mineral rights on several acres near Kettle Falls. It took me hours, but I did it... and with a little surprise involved as well. The land it seems is smack dab in the middle of several large and outdated mining claims. Upon closer inspection, I believe I also found a possible kimberlite! I need to freshen up on my crypto-geology, but I am fairly certain it is in fact a kimberlite and I will confirm it on the ground as soon as possible. I am going to send Dan Hausel an email with a link to get his opinion. This is so very exciting.

Cheers

Sean

You can always do it the hard way with a topo map!

Boy OH Boy!   What's that site got to do with what were trying to do here?

I put out the feelers to a few Gold Prospecting sites I frequent.

Just wait and See?

Yeah, the jdmcox.com is not a geocoder but the earthpoint got the job done. I would still like to find an actual geocoder
