Suzy Lamplugh and GPR

the first news article I came across (The Sun unfortunately) has this

Ground-penetrating radar was used to scan the area and a tent was erected where the garage stood.

I will be very surprised if they don't.

Looks like a relatively small area anyway from the images I saw on the news - shouldn't take them too long to search anyway.

Maybe there's a way of being your own granny, in the way that you can be your own uncle. (Ask your smartphone how to achieve the latter.)

The garden might be 'landscaped' so removing the top layer gives them a level surface to drive their radar across.

Also testing for soil and even plants will give an indication of what might be below. This is how the big mining companies prospect for minerals in Oz. They hover their copter at tree height and snip off samples for lab analysis to tell them what is in or under the soil.

And I am sure I passed a headstone at the edge of a field the other day!

I must streetview it to see if it really was a headstone.

Trouble is I am not sure where it was. I had driven South on Idle Bank at Wroot/Westwoodside and turned right towards Doncaster. It was there on the RHS of the road some where after turning right.

Bullshit they do and none of what is at the bottom of a hole like this ever gets into any of the surface vegetation.

Legend has it that gipsies put flowers on it every year, and the colour of the flowers will be the colours of the next big winner at Newmarket. That all stopped years ago.

And I used to drive past it quite regularly.

It was on the TV not too long ago.

You need to educate yourself.

Showing pictures of existing opencast mines doesn't help your argument either because it's where the future prospects are likely to be is the reason why they do it.

Aaron is Rod Speed. Educating himself isn't going to happen.

So that makes it gospel does it ?

We'll see...

But even someone as stupid as you should be able to grasp that when the metal you want is that far down, it is just a tad unlikely that much of that metal ever ended up in the vegetation that was once on top of that.
