Threw $300 at a ground-penetrating radar rental for my backyard dig and it paid off big time
I've been trying to locate an old root cellar on my property near Boise that supposedly dates to the 1880s. After three weekends of digging test pits with no luck, I rented a GPR unit from a local equipment place for $300 for the day. Ran it over the back corner of my lot and got a clear signal about 4 feet down. Dug there and hit a brick-lined pit with some old jars and a rusted hinge. Probably saved me another month of random holes for the cost of a nice dinner out. Has anyone else tried renting gear for a home dig instead of just going by old maps?
