There were once some researcher's inquiry here I think about locating
one in the Pacific Northwest that had not a precisely recorded
location in the monumental civic architecture and someone was asking
for advice in "prospection" either with instruments or "tradition" or
behaviour previously recorded. I've used a few remote instruments, one
the Australians used to located many buried kilns of "celadon"
ceramics in Southeast Asia, to further the understanding of the
enigma of shipwreck ceramics generally thought to have come from
China, actually shown to be made elsewhere, in this case, in kilns now
under about 1-2 meters of flood plain of river silts. The fired kilns
become magnetized and stand out from the "one" Tesla that the earth's
magnetic field is, and in hundreds or more nanoteslas buried objects
can be located with a handheld cesium magnetometer on a stick used
there and by my company in Saratoga Springs, NY to located buried
features of a former "city gas" plant in an active electrical yard. It
was accompanied by a harness for batteries, a palmtop computer, a
battery hard-drive, software and could be run continuously at timed
intervals or triggered with a handheld switch allowing the user to
clandestinely perform a magnetometer survey in either a grid or across
a landscape.
I thought that this instrument circa 1993 would be used more than the
EPA researched contamination around a suspect remaining "gasholder" in
our field. If someone is interested in a really wonderful device I
haven't a clue but I did work for Joel W. Grossman, Ph.D. at the time
who also wrote the Western Hemisphere summary for the Britannica
Yearbook then and he would know. It was 103 then and I forgot to ask
who the long white fiberglass shipping box (photon torpedo) had come
from, it was repaired quickly when it had a problem. It might help to
find lost "time capsules", it found buried brick walls fairly easily
with Surfer software.
