We completed our first grid and ran the GPR with the 400 MHz antenna. It was sunny and hot, and the surface had lots of stones, which made the going a little difficult. The Radargrams look good. Saturday, we will try the EM-38 on the same grid (assuming the cows and goats did not eat all the flags).
