In the first place - the smallest is about the size of a largish lawnmower and more or less looks like it. Other arrays can be carried on the shoulders but I assure you that it cannot be done surreptitiously.


All GPR does is to plot anomalies in the soil. You can never say for sure that something is a grave until you start digging.
I don't believe this survey ever happened. The equipment is expensive, used extensively in archaeology and needs expert analysis.

Besides, those fantastic dogs! They'd go spare if someone turned up with any kind of equipment and I don't know how big the garden is, but the whole garden would have had to be surveyed to come to a conclusion on anomalies.

Whole thing is rubbish, silly season.

technology in everything has changed in 5 years


The PJ used the same type of equipment which resulted in nothing.

Final summary extract:

"Searches were performed at the residence, and the subsoil was explored with a Geo-radar (GPR), - which consists of a radar antenna that transmits electromagnetic energy in the shape of an impulse within frequencies between 25 MHz and 1 GHz. Those impulses are partially reflected through sub-superficial geological structures, captured with a receiving antenna and marked as a time record of continuous bi-directional path which is presented as a pseudo-geological record section – e these technical searches neither found nor marked anything of interest to the files "

No, I doubt there is anything as complicated as that. I'm just thinking that maybe Birch had the wrong map and trundled round the wrong garden!

And what would make him now, five years on, decide to re-search Murats garden?
It's not adding up to me. It just doesn't 'feel' right.
