Blew $480 on my own ground-penetrating radar and it's the best money I ever threw at this hobby
Everyone in my local club keeps saying to just pay for a survey, but renting a GPR for a weekend cost me $480 and I mapped three Civil War era farm sites in one trip. If you're waiting on the university to come out, good luck, their waiting list here in Knoxville is over a year. What's the cheapest way you all have found to survey a site without a permit headache?
