Greeting Diggers,

I am going to purchase a GPR (Ground Pentrating Radar) on wheels, in May.
This particular electronic device is made for scanning the ground beneath it up to 12 feet. The side views of the ground shows layers of different horizontal types of sediments etc. If the ground is disturbed the lines will show up as a upside down V down to where the soil hasn't been disturbed. These disturbed upside down V's could be old wells, outhouses, trashpits!
What the GPR does is end all the excessive back breaking probing! Once sites located they can be flagged or I can download them for you as a printout.
My cost to come to your proposed sites to run my GPR across any lots you want electronically explored will be the following.
Any bottles (whiskey's, foods, soda's, pottery or odd artifacts) that are embossed before 1920 with your local area towns etc embossed on them, that I don't already have.
In this way my collections can grow as your collections grow, without all the pain of probing of empty holes. All expenses coming to you is my expense.
Nothing that is found as a result of my GPRing are involved in the trade for services.
I will be strting in the southeast this summer, as I live in the panhandle of Florida.
Let me know what you think.

Frank

Hey Frank,

I looked first to make sure that you did not post this on 01 April. That bit of due diligence dispensed with, I am quite interest in following your adventures. Indeed, should you have any success, I think your endeavors would make the subject of a super interesting YouTube channel, which could potentially be profitable in its own right.

I've thought about investing in a GPR unit myself; but it is a big leap for someone without experience using the technology. Plus, the sites that most interest me are in areas often reverted to wilderness. Even when reasonably easily accessed, I fear that the brush and uneven ground surfaces would play havoc with deploying GPR. Do you have background experience with the machines?

If you ever do anticipate visiting the western states, please contact me, for I do have some prospects on private property that would lend themselves to GPR investigation, but would require permission coordination in advance.
