Well after another year and a lot of work have a unit field tested and ready to sell. Have found many dumps, trash pits and privies. I have relocated to the Augusta Georgia area and have a pit to dig on Monday that I found with the radar.My site is www.easyradusa.com , trying very hard to reduce the price to under $4000 so as many people as possible can have a chance to try real ground radar. Happy New Year to all. Karl in Aiken SC[attachment=IMG_3494.JPG]

Sounds promising, Karl. Do you have any images you can share with us of things you detected, and of what was produced when dug? I checked out your website and looked at the two images shown there, but really don't know what I'm looking at. Can't tell much with my untrained eyes.

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 you will not see the changes in soil that well.What you see is the reflection strength of the signal as it bounces of different layers of soil. Privies, dumps and trash pits almost always contain different layers than the surrounding soil. This difference is what you look for. I will post some images later today.Thanks for your interest. Karl

Sure would love to show it to you. Will probably be demonstrating it at the next Horse Creek Bottle Club meeting in Aiken. Will also have a table at the up coming bottle show in Columbia on February 20th and 21st......

This privy was seen through 3 inches of asphalt, got permission to dig and found this flask along with 150 other bottles. Only known example "J.M. Wilkins Grocer Tucson A.T."
