    Quick Creek Dig

    Thanks! I was thinking of getting some waders, fishing type up to waste and use a pitch fork? This Canal is only about 15 feet wide and two feet deep. On the 1884 Sanborn it calls it out as a "Tail Race".

    Affordable Ground Penetrating Radar finally complete

    Tim,Got rained out, will dig it Friday or Saturday. I have never scanned a hay field. The unit is very tough but needs to be within a few inches of the ground. Try dragging a box weighing about 10 lbs. over your surface and see how it does.....Karl

    Affordable Ground Penetrating Radar finally complete

    Jimbo,The image you see is a slice of the ground. Depth is determined by type of soil. Here in Aiken I can easily see 10-12 feet down. This unit operates with a center frequency of 500MHz; will have a 250MHz unit done soon that will detect much deeper but will show less resolution. This means...
